Supported managed devices

The tables in this section provide detailed information about supported managed devices for BigFix Inventory version 10.

Important: Software vendors might restrict eligible platform for their software licensing and change the eligibility in future for reasons, such as end of support of given technology. To stay compliant with vendor rules, refer to the vendor documentation about current platform eligibility for a given licensing metric. For IBM Sub-capacity eligible systems, check Sub-capacity (Virtualization capacity) licensing page.

Windows Notes:
  1. Installation with Server Core or Nano Server is not supported.
  2. If you use a 64-bit system, always run the disconnected scanner scripts in the 64-bit command prompt.
  3. This operating system is no longer in service. Please refer to IBM's policy on unsupported operating systems: IBM Support Guide.
  4. The support for Windows 7 is limited.
    • The support for older Windows versions is provided on BigFix Platform 10 with BigFix 9.5 Agents BigFix Platform 9.5 system requirements.
    • Licensing metrics for vendors might include restrictions on supported OS for eligibility to use the metric. For IBM Sub-capacity eligible systems check Sub-capacity (Virtualization capacity) licensing (IBM site).
  5. In BigFix Inventory version 10.0.7, we are announcing support for Windows 11 on 64 bit. It is possible to run the scans and capture the software discovery on Windows 11.
    • Windows 11 does not have updated version. Internally in Windows Registry it is represented as version 10 and there is only possible to distinguish it by Build Number 22000 or higher
    • Computer Property: Operating System - BigFix Client must be in version 10.0.4 or higher, otherwise system reports as Windows 10.
    • Software Classification and Package Data: System in BigFix Inventory version 10.0.7 is reported as Windows 10. The rest of the software discovery works correctly.
    • Detailed Hardware Scan: Operating System - major_version and minor_version is still 10.0.
Mac OS

BigFix Platform supports Mac OS operating system. To know more about the supported versions, refer to the articles, BigFix Platform version 10 and BigFix Platform version 9.5. For Mac OS, only BigFix Agent is supported (Disconnected Scanner is not supported), and only package scan and application usage statistics are supported on this platform.

Notes applying to hypervisors on AIX operating systems:
  1. Supported Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) version 2.2.3 or higher. Before you start installation of the BigFix client, run oem_setup_env command to place the user into the OEM software installation and setup environment.
  2. In rare cases when machine is live migrated using Live Partition Mobility technology BigFix Inventory may wrongly calculate PVU values (high watermarks). This is known limitation that will be mitigated in future releases.
