PSM Client Requirements

The following tables list the recommended software and hardware requirements for the proNX Service Manager client and the proNX Service Manager Dashboard client.

A maximum of 10 clients (any combination of PSM clients and proNX Service Manager Dashboard clients) is supported.

Software Requirements

Table 1: PSM Client Software Requirements

Software	Requirement
Operating system	Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 10, latest updates applied. Supported on 32 and 64 bit versions
	Linux
	OS X, latest updates applied. Apple OS X Leopard +
Java Runtime Environment	Oracle JRE Version 8 latest update (recommended)¹, or
Java Runtime Environment	OpenJDK Version 8 latest update²
Browser Note: The proNX Service Manager Dashboard client requires JSON/XML view plug-ins to be installed if you wish to view the raw Representational State Transfer (REST) data in your browser.
Microsoft Windows	Microsoft® Internet Explorer®, latest updates applied (not supported for the proNX Service Manager Dashboard client)
	Mozilla Firefox, latest updates applied
	Google Chrome, latest updates applied
OSX	Apple Safari, latest updates applied
	Mozilla Firefox, latest updates applied
	Google Chrome, latest updates applied
¹ Download the latest Oracle Java Runtime Environment Version 8 from www.oracle.com. ² Download the latest OpenJDK Version 8 from various vendors such as Red Hat. Note: By default, the PSM client uses the default Java version on your system. You can change the Java version that the PSM client uses by modifying the `jdkhome` variable in the `<psm-install-dir>\etc\psmclient.conf` file to point to the installation directory of the Java version that you want to use. You may need to do this under the following situations: if the Java version you are installing is not automatically set up as the default by the installer if you are installing Java directly without an installer, such as installing through a zip file if you are installing OpenJDK if you have multiple Java versions installed and you want to select a non-default version For example: jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191-1.b12.redhat.windows.x86_64" where `C:\Program Files\Java\java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191-1.b12.redhat.windows.x86_64` is the directory of the Java installation you want the PSM client to use.

Hardware Requirements

Table 2 lists the minimum hardware requirements for a PSM client managing a simple network. The actual hardware required is dependent on the size of the managed network. Contact Juniper Networks Support to determine whether your PSM client hardware is suitable for your network installation.

Table 2: PSM Client Hardware Requirements

Hardware	Requirement
Processor	Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor E5300 or equivalent
RAM	4GB single channel DDR3 1600MHz
Hard disk space	73 GB
Video card	512MB Dedicated graphics card
Network Interface Card	1 x 1GbE
Media Installation	DVD +/- RW Drive

Terminal Server Incremental Memory Requirements

When running the proNX Service Manager client application in a terminal server deployment, the memory required on the Windows or Linux server is proportional to the number of clients served. Each client requires 2 GB of RAM. This is in addition to the base memory requirements for the server.

For example, assuming the base memory requirements for a Windows server is 4 GB, the following memory is required to support 10 proNX Service Manager clients:

Note

These calculations do not apply to the proNX Service Manager Dashboard client. The proNX Service Manager Dashboard client runs in a web browser whose memory requirements are accounted for in the operating system.
