Using GAM in a Linux Environment

To use this product in a Linux environment, it is necessary to install device drivers and GAM.
When using Linux on the server which has not bundled the Linux service, refer to the Fujitsu
PRIMERGY website (http://primergy.fujitsu.com).
When GAM on a Linux server is monitored from GAM Client, GAM Client can only be
installed on servers or computers running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server.
Make considerations when creating system configuration since GAM Client cannot be
installed on a server running Linux.
The following figure shows a system configuration in which GAM Client on a Windows server
manages a Linux server.
GAM Client
GAM Server and GAM Agent modules must be installed on the Linux server. In addition, it is
necessary to edit the configuration file to set the GAM event recipient and enable storing
event logs after the installation. For more details, refer to "Installation Guide" about Linux
using the above URL.
If there is a firewall in the environment, it is necessary to configure network settings, such as
disabling blocking of the port used by the GAM protocol.
