Server requirements

Notes about Windows operating systems:

Only the 64-bit architecture is supported for installing the BigFix server and Web Reports components on Windows systems.
The Windows firewall can be either turned off or configured to open the following two ports:
- Port 52311 for UDP and TCP/IP
- Port 8083 for Web Reports and TCP/IP
Windows BigFix servers cannot be migrated to Linux BigFix servers.

Notes about Linux operating systems:

IBM DB2 11.5 / 11.5.4 / 11.5.5 / 11.5.6 / 11.5.7 / 11.5.8. For information about how to install DB2 server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 64-bit, see Installing and configuring DB2.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 x86 64-bit requires IBM DB2 11.5.4.
Red Hat packages required by BigFix Linux server and Web Reports components:
- cyrus-sasl-lib.x86_64
- libstdc++.x86_64 and all their prerequisites
- pam.x86_64
- krb5-libs.x86_64
- unixODBC.x86_64
- fontconfig.x86_64 (Web Reports only)
- libXext.x86_64 (Web Reports only)
- libXrender.x86_64 (Web Reports only)
- zlib.x86_64 (Web Reports only)
- libpng12.x86_64 (RHEL 7 only)
- numactl.x86_64 (embedded DB2 installations only)
- pam.i686 (embedded DB2 installations only)
- libstdc++.i686 (embedded DB2 installations only)
Installation or upgrade of the Server components on Linux installs the unixODBC RPM package which is a prerequisite for version 10.0.2. If Yum is not configured on the Linux system, you must manually install the unixODBC RPM package prior to running the installation or upgrade.
