Sentinel Component Supported Platforms - Novell SENTINEL 6.1 SP2 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 02-2010 Installation Manual

Although 32-bit platforms are supported for the Sentinel database in development or proof-of-
concept environments, Novell recommends 64-bit platforms for production databases in order to
obtain the best performance results.
NOTE: All databases should be installed on an operating system that is certified by the database
vendor and also by Novell for use with Sentinel components. Oracle must run on Linux* or Solaris
(not Windows). When you use the Oracle client to install or load seed data to the Sentinel database,
ensure that the Oracle client version is same or later than the Oracle server version.

2.1.3 Sentinel Component Supported Platforms

The Sentinel Server components include the Communication Server, Correlation Engine, Data
Access Service (DAS), and the Advisor data subscription service (which resides on the same
machine as DAS).
The Sentinel user applications that are mentioned in
Control Center (SCC), Sentinel Data Manager (SDM), and Sentinel Solution Designer (SSD).
The Collector Manager, Collector Builder, and Crystal Reports* Server also have specific platform
requirements.
The following software and operating system combinations are certified or supported. Certified
combinations have been tested with Novell Engineering's full test suite. Supported combinations are
expected to be fully functional.
