2.12.2 Prerequisites, restrictions, and estimation of required system resources for installing JP1/AJS3 - Agent in containers
This section shows the prerequisites and restrictions that apply when installing JP1/AJS3 - Agent in containers and describes how to estimate the system resources required for the installation.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Prerequisites for installing JP1/AJS3 - Agent in containers
(a) Supported OSs
For the requirements for the container host machine used when JP1/AJS3 - Agent is installed in a container and the OSs supported within the containers, see the Release Notes.
(b) Supported container management software
The following software products can manage containers in which JP1/AJS3 - Agent can be installed:
-
Docker
-
Podman
(c) Network environment
If a container in which JP1/AJS3 - Agent is installed needs to link with a host other than the container host machine, make sure that TCP/IP communication can be performed between the container and host in both directions. For details about the setup procedure for a container to communicate with a host other than the host machine via TCP/IP communication, see the JP1/Base User's Guide.
(2) Restrictions when JP1/AJS3 - Agent is installed in containers
The following shows the restrictions that apply when JP1/AJS3 - Agent is installed in containers:
-
Logical hosts cannot be created in the container.
-
JP1/AJS3 can be installed in containers and on the container host machine.
Note, however, that in this case, the version of JP1/AJS3 installed on the container host machine must be 12-60 or later.
-
In containers, only the following jobs can be used:
-
Unix job#
-
QUEUE job
-
Flexible job
-
HTTP connection job
-
Receive JP1 Event job
-
Monitoring Files job
-
Receive Mail job
-
Monitoring Log Files job
-
Interval Control job
-
Send JP1 Event job#
-
Send Mail job#
- #
-
Queueless Agent can also be specified for Exec. Service.
-
(3) Estimating the system resources required to install JP1/AJS3 - Agent in containers
Before you install JP1/AJS3 - Agent in a container, estimate the system resources that will be used on the agent host that will operate inside the container. Then, add the estimated system resources to the system resources that are used on the container host machine. The values to be added are the same as the values of the system resources on the physical host. If you create multiple containers on one host machine, you must add the estimated system resources for each container. For details about the system resources used by JP1/AJS3 - Agent, see the Release Notes.
