Software requirements for the advanced node failure detection
To use the advanced node failure detection function in an IBM® i high-availability solution, the minimum software requirements should be met.
Each node planning to use the advanced node failure detection feature with common
information model (CIM) servers has the following software requirements:
- 5770-SS1 Base operating system option 33 - Portable Application Solutions Environment
- 5770-SS1 Base operating system option 30 - Qshell
- 5733-SC1 - IBM Portable Utilities for IBM i
- 5733-SC1 option 1 - OpenSSH, OpenSSL, zlib
- 5770-UME IBM Universal Manageability Enablement
- 5770-HAS IBM PowerHA® for i LP
- HMC version V8R8.5.0 or earlier. This is the last version of HMC to support the CIM server.
Note: IVM uses the CIM server.
Each node planning to use the advanced node failure detection feature with
representational state transfer (REST) servers has the following software requirements:
- 5770-SS1 Base operating system option 3 - Extended Base Directory Support
- 5770-SS1 Base operating system option 33 - Portable Application Solutions Environment
- 5733-SC1 - IBM Portable Utilities for IBM i (Only required for initial configuration of a cluster monitor.)
- 5733-SC1 option 1 - OpenSSH, OpenSSL, zlib (Only required for initial configuration of a cluster monitor.)
- 5770-HAS IBM PowerHA for i LP
- HMC version V8R8.5.0 or later. This is the first version of HMC to support the REST server.
- PowerHA for i new function cluster monitor HMC REST support PTF
