Before installing IBM® Intelligent Operations Center, Linux packages need to be installed
on the servers.
About this task
Linux package requirements assumes that the Minimal option is selected during Red Hat installation. The Minimal option provides only the @core and @server-policy packages which
are essential to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A minimal installation provides the base for a single-purpose
server or desktop appliance and maximizes performance and security
for the installation.
The Linux packages in following table must be installed
on the IBM Intelligent Operations Center servers. The redhat-lsb package is required on the analytics server if the GUI installer will be used. These packages are
available from Red Hat.
