1 System 

Requirements 

ISC consists of console software and instrumentation software.  You install and 
run console software on the system from which you are going to monitor and 
control other servers referred to as managed servers.  A managed server is an 
Intel

®

 Architecture (IA) platform with ISC Platform Instrumentation software 

installed and running.  The system running the console software is sometimes 
referred to as the client workstation or client. 

Client Workstation 

The client workstation runs console software.  The console software is installed 
during ISC installation.  Table 1 lists the system configurations on which the ISC 
installation process installs console software and also lists the client workstation’s 
configuration requirements and restrictions:
