Database Requirements:

Hardware Requirements:

• The Tivoli Endpoint Manager Server should be run on a dedicated server computer with 2 GHZ+ CPU and 1 GB+ of RAM.
• 5 GB+ of free disk space is recommended for best results (although only a minimum of 300 MB is strictly necessary for the Tivoli Endpoint Manager components and database).

Network Requirements

• The Tivoli Endpoint Manager Server must have Internet access.
• The firewall/proxy cannot strip out unknown HTTP headers when the Tivoli Endpoint Manager Server connects to the Tivoli Endpoint Manager Fixlet servers at http://sync.bigfix.com on port 80.
• All Tivoli Endpoint Manager Clients should be able to connect to the Tivoli Endpoint Manager Server using HTTP on the specified port (default port is 52311).
• The Tivoli Endpoint Manager Server should be able to send UDP messages on the specified port (default port is 52311) to all the Tivoli Endpoint Manager Clients.
• The Tivoli Endpoint Manager Server must be accessible from each Tivoli Endpoint Manager Console using an ODBC connection.
• Avoid running personal firewall products on the Tivoli Endpoint Manager Server.

Note: These requirements are for the standard evaluation version. The production version Tivoli Endpoint Manager can support many other advanced deployment options such as air-gap installations, different port numbers, etc.
