3.1 HDLM System Requirements

Check the following before installing HDLM:

3.1.1 Hosts and OSs Supported by HDLM

You can install HDLM on Sun SPARC series computer on which an OS listed in

Table 3-1: Applicable OSs for the host is running.

JDK required for linkage with Global Link Manager

To link with Global Link Manager, make sure that the JDK package 1.4.2_15 (32-bit

version) or later or JDK package 5.0_11 (32-bit version) or later is already installed on

the host. The JDK does not need to be installed if linkage with Global Link Manager

is not used. When HDLM is installed in an environment in which the JDK has not been

installed, the KAPL09241-W message is displayed. If linkage with Global Link

Manager is not used, this message requires no action. Note that the display of the

KAPL09241-W message does not affect HDLM operation.
