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.

    • It should have the DataStage Client Tools (bundled with your Information Server version) installed.
      Ensure your Windows version is compatible with the DataStage Client Tools.  For more information visit https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27050442.

  • Provides a mechanism to easy transfer files (e.g. application installation files, log files) between the installer's computer and this host.

  • This machine should have the CI/CD agent installed which will need to be able to communicate with your CI/CD instance (e.g. Jenkins, Bamboo, Azure DevOps, etc...).

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.
