System requirements for EcoStruxure IT Gateway

Lieutenant JG EcoStruxureIT
‎2018-11-13 05:56 AM

Last Updated: Commander JLehr Commander 2 weeks ago

Operating system

  • A server or PC that is always on with:
    • English install of Microsoft® Windows® 10 and 11 64-bit, Server 2016, Server 2019, and Server 2022 
    • Rocky Linux 8.7 and 9.1; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9; CentOS 7 (end of life June, 2024)

 

Support for CentOS 8 ended

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) announced that no further operating system updates will be available for CentOS 8 after December 31, 2021. As of now, updates and security patches for CentOS 7 will be available through June of 2024.

 

If you installed the Gateway on CentOS 8, you should replace it with another supported operating system.

Back up your Gateway installation on CentOS 8 first, then restore it on the new operating system.

 

Support for CentOS 7 ending in June 2024

If you installed the Gateway on CentOS 7, consider replacing your Gateway on another supported operating system soon.

How to replace your EcoStruxure IT Gateway with a new installation

 

CPU and Memory

The required CPU and memory depends on the number of monitored devices and the protocol.

The following guidelines are based on our testing. Your actual results may vary due to differences in hardware, network, and device responsiveness.

 

The Gateway service (OpenJDK Platform binary) allocates up to half the total system memory for its use.

 

Recommended minimum CPU and memory

The number of SNMPv3 devices the Gateway can monitor is about 25% of what is possible with SNMPv1 and Modbus TCP. 

 

SNMPv1 and Modbus TCP

 

Size Number of devices Number of sensors RAM CPU
Small 250 34,000 4GB 4
Medium 2000 270,000 8GB 8
Large 5000 540,000 16GB 24

 

 

SNMPv3

 

Size Number of devices Number of sensors RAM CPU
Small 60 8,500 4GB 4
Medium 500 65,000 8GB 8
Large 1,200 130,000 16GB 24

 

One Minute Polling

A maximum of 25 devices can be configured to poll at 1 minute.

 

When you use the small Gateway configuration to discover SNMPv3 devices, only about 10 out of the 60 SNMPv3 devices can be polled at 1 minute.  More than 10 devices may cause the Gateway to become overloaded and not keep up with the configured poll rate.

See Configure 1 minute polling in EcoStruxure IT Gateway

 

Alarms

If the combination of number of devices, poll rate, and protocol is more than the Gateway can handle, you may get a device communication alert alarm.

 

Disk Space

800MB of disk space is required for the application itself, plus additional space for a maximum of 8 days of sensor data.

 

Additional disk space required

 

Size Additional disk space Total disk space
Small 128MB per day 2GB
Medium 512MB per day 5GB
Large 1.1GB per day 10GB

 

Firewall

  • Port 443 TCP outbound
  • To connect using static IP addresses, add:
    • 40.84.62.190
    • 23.99.90.28
    • 52.230.227.202
    • 52.177.161.233
    • 52.154.163.222

 

If your firewall blocks the Gateway default ports, or any non-default ports you specified, you must add firewall exceptions for these ports. See Gateway default ports

 

DNS

A DNS server must be defined for the network that connects to EcoStruxure IT.

 

Make sure your Gateway can resolve us.ecostruxureit.com via DNS.

 

Make sure Gateway versions older than 1.10.0 can resolve us.struxureon.com via DNS.

 

Supported browsers

  • Microsoft Edge®
  • Mozilla® Firefox®
  • Google Chrome™
  • Safari

Set the screen resolution to at least 1024 x 768.

 

Smartphone

  • iPhone 6S and newer
  • iOS 13.0 and newer
  • Android 5 and newer

 

Connected devices

  • Intelligent Network Management Card

  • Modbus TCP or SNMP V1 and V3 enabled
    Gateway versions older than 1.15 do not allow discovery of SNMPv3 devices with the Authentication type and Encryption type set to None. See Discover devices

  • Connected to a TCP/IP network that the Gateway has access to
    Note: Firmware update and mass configuration with APC NMC 4 (AP9644) devices are not yet supported.

  • Redfish server protocol support

    • HP Proliant with iLO 4, 5
      Note: iLO 4 requires ManagerFirmwareVersion 2.55 or greater.

    • Dell PowerEdge with iDRAC 7, 8, 9

  • NetBotz support

    • Rack Monitor 570, 250, 750/755

 

Security certificate

When you launch the EcoStruxure IT Gateway, the browser might display a message that the connection is not secure. Since the application is installed on the local machine, the security certificate used by localhost is a self signed certificate.

It is safe to add an exception to your browser for https://localhost.
