PSM Server Requirements
The following tables list the recommended minimum software and typical hardware requirements for a PSM server.
The PSM server supports a maximum of 10 clients (any combination of PSM clients and proNX Service Manager Dashboard clients).
Software Requirements
Table 1: PSM Server Software Requirements
Software | Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|
Operating system | Red Hat (CentOS) Linux, 64-bit, RHEL/CentOS 6 (6.3 or later), or RHEL/CentOS 7 (7.1 or later) Juniper Networks provides a setup script to help configure the OS and the installed packages to support the PSM server application. This script is included in the PSM ISO image. |
Java Development Kit | OpenJDK Version 8 latest update |
Hardware Requirements
PSM server hardware requirements depend on the number of clients, the number and type of network elements supported, and any special requirements imposed by enabled features (for example, historical PMs). Table 2 shows the specifications that all PSM servers must have. Table 3 shows the typical PSM server configurations.
Table 2: PSM Server Mandatory Specifications
Hardware | Requirement |
|---|---|
Processor | Intel 64-bit |
RAM | DDR3, 1066MHz or faster |
Hard Disk | SAS, 7k or faster |
Network Interface Cards | Dedicated 1GbE PCIe Cards (Intel preferred) + 1GbE port on motherboard |
RAID | 1 x hardware-based RAID 1 card with a battery-backed write cache |
Integrated Lights Out Management | 1 x dedicated IPMI 2.0 compatible BMC |
Media Installation | 1 x DVD +/- RW Drive |
Table 3: PSM Server Typical Configurations
Number of cores | Amount of RAM | Hard disk capacity | Ethernet (PCIe) |
|---|---|---|---|
6 | 12GB | 2 x 1TB | 2 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet |
12 | 16GB | 4 x 1TB | 2 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet |
16 | 24GB | 8 x 1TB | 4 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet |
32 | 32GB | 16 x 1TB | 4 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet |
In general, any server that is sized to meet your requirements can be used. Contact your Juniper Networks representative to confirm the server hardware requirements that will satisfy your particular needs.
Network Element Limitations
The BTI7800 Series network element can be managed by a maximum of two PSM servers only.
