Infrastructure Requirements
MettleCI Host
MettleCI requires a dedicated physical or virtual server with the following specification to act as the MettleCI Host:
- A recent model 8-Core (minimum) Intel-compatible CPU running at 2.5GHz (minimum)
- 16GB RAM (minimum)
- 250GB (minimum) available high-speed disk, allocated as follows:
- 100GB for MettleCI components
- 150GB (estimated) for your assets in Git. Increase this value if you believe your Information Server assets will occupy more space than this.
- Microsoft Windows Server 2016* Base (64-Bit) operating system.
- This should be a ‘clean’ operating system which does not contain any co-resident third party software or artefacts remaining from previous software installations.
- Ensure your Windows version is compatible with the DataStage Client Tools bundled with your Information Server version. For more information visit https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27050442.
- Able to support two concurrent RDP sessions
- Provides a mechanism to easy transfer files (e.g. application installation files, log files) between the installer's computer and this host.

Window Server 2012 is a fall-back option but comes with operating system restrictions regarding filesystem path lengths that should be discussed with your MettleCI consultant prior to delivering this infrastructure. |
MettleCI Consultant Personal Computer
The MettleCI expert performing your installation, or supporting your staff to perform the installation, will need either:
- the ability to remotely access the hosts shown in the MettleCI Platform Components diagram from their company-supplied computer (running a current MacOS or Windows version) via your VPN; or
- a laptop computer provided by your organisation that allows them to remotely access the MettleCI Platform Components over a secure connection.
