ArcGIS Server operating system requirements and restrictions
All Platforms
- Server display requirements:
- 1024x768 or higher is recommended in standard size (96 DPI)
- 24-bit color depth
Some ArcGIS Server functions such as globeserver and geometry require OpenGL 1.3 library functions. These libraries are usually included in the operating systems supported by ArcGIS Server. In Microsoft Windows, these libraries are provided along with the operating system. For specific platform requirements, see the following.
Some core geographic processing tools require python 2.6.x and numerical Python 1.3.0 support. We recommend that you use the ArcGIS Server installer to install Python 2.6.5 and numerical Python 1.3.0. You can deselect the python function during the installation process to choose not to install Python 2.6.5 and numerical Python 1.3.0. Python is a sub-function of the server object container (SOC.
Microsoft Windows
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or later must be installed. Before installing ArcGIS Server to Windows, you must first obtain and install Internet Explorer 7.0 or later.
- Windows 7, XP, and Vista: These operating systems are only supported during basic testing and application development. We recommend that you do not deploy it in the production environment.
- Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008: when you use the ArcGIS Server. net manager in Vista or Windows Server 2008, an exception or error may occur in your application. For more information, see kb35105.
Linux
- Only Linux on the X86 platform supports ArcGIS Server, and the CPU must comply with the X86 architecture, and ensure that the Linux version is supported.
- The operating system (binary file) must not be modified. If the product is installed in the developer operating system, ESRI will not provide any support.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4:
- As long as the patches from RHEL as/es are supported by webserver and they are from Red Hat and have not made any changes to the latest kernel/glibc version, ESRI will provide support.
- The following groups are required:
- From the quota tops Group
- X Window System package group (adequate standard package)-For details, see kb37379.
- From the Development Group
- The toolkit group where the gcc-g77 package comes from the additional package section-the required library libg2c. so.0 belongs to the libf2c package; The libf2c package is provided by the gcc-g77 package
- Legacy Software Development Package groups (adequate standard packages)
- In addition, the following software packages are required (the package version cannot be earlier than the preceding version ):
- 64-bit operating system support: you must first install the above 32-bit version of the software package, and then install ArcGIS Server.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5:
- As long as the patches from RHEL as/es are supported by webserver and they are from Red Hat and have not made any changes to the latest kernel/glibc version, ESRI will provide support.
- The following groups are required:
- From the Development Group
- Development Kit Group
- Legacy Software Development Package Group
- From base system group
- Legacy Software supports package groups, where compat-OpenLDAP comes from optional packages
- X Window System package group-For more information, see kb37379.
- The following software packages are also required:
- Compat-libf2c-34
- Compat-libstdc ++-33
- Compat-libstdc ++-296
- Compat-OpenLDAP
- Libxp
- OpenGL package: Mesa-libgl
- OpenGL package: Mesa-libglu
- OpenLDAP
- OpenSSL
- 64-bit operating system support: you must first install the above 32-bit version of the software package, and then install ArcGIS Server.
- SuSE Linux 10 SP2:
- As long as the linux patch for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server comes from SuSE Linux and no modifications are made to the latest kernel/glibc version, ESRI will provide support.
- The following software packages are required:
- From system/libraries package Group
- Compat package
- Freeglut package
- Mesa package-this package includes the required OpenGL version: xorg-x11-Mesa-6.4.2-19.4.
- From Development/languages ages/Fortran package Group
- Libg2c33 package-this package is provided by Novell in the form of a patch (GNU G77 20081203 ). For more information, see kb35105.
- From system/X11/utilities package Group
- X Window System-For more information, see kb37379.
- 64-bit operating system support: you must first install the above 32-bit version of the software package, and then install ArcGIS Server.
- To establish a connection between ArcGIS Server on SuSE and ArcSDE for PostgreSQL, see ESRI Knowledge Base Article kb6.
Sun Solaris
- When running in a 64-bit Solaris or iSCSI environment, products related to ArcGIS Engine Run as 32-bit applications.
- The operating system (binary file) must not be modified. If the product is installed in the developer operating system, ESRI will not provide any support.
- When running ArcGIS Server on Solaris, ArcGIS Server is only supported on Solaris Xeon enterprise M Series servers.
- X-Windows/General desktop environment-for more information, see kb37379.
- For Solaris 10, we recommend that you install the following patches at the same time:
- Patch 113886-29 for OpenGL
- Patch 113887-29 for OpenGL
- Starting from version 9.3, if you run on a Solaris system that supports Sun's new tool "extended file", ArcGIS Engine, arcreader, and ArcGIS Server can use this function. This feature can significantly increase the number of files opened by ArcGIS on Solaris at the same time. Currently, sun's "extended file" support is only available on Solaris 10. This support is automatically added to Solaris 10 released after January 1, June 2007. To add "extended file" to earlier versions of Solaris 10, we recommend that you install the following patches:
- 125100-04 kernel update Patch
- 120473-05 libc nss ldap Pam zfs Patch
- 125800-01 Fault Manager Patch
- Direct connection to Oracle from the ArcGIS Server Running on Solaris is not supported, because access to ArcSDE for Oracle from the Solaris platform in direct connection mode only supports 64-bit applications. ArcGIS Server runs as a 32-bit application.
Supported Virtual EnvironmentsAll the components of ArcGIS Server (including ArcSDE) run on the supported platform and fully support the virtual environment. See the supported server platforms mentioned above. When running a third-party application such as a relational database using ArcGIS Server, the application must also support virtual environments. Check the virtualization support of third-party vendors.
If an ESRI software-specific problem is found in a virtual environment, ESRI's Support Service Department will attempt to reproduce the problem on an independent machine. If the problem cannot be reproduced on any of the above supported server platforms on an independent machine, unless the problem occurs in the following VM environment, otherwise, ESRI will not provide repair programs and further support for problems specific to the virtual environment:
For more information, see ArcGIS Server and virtualization.
