Infrastructure Requirements

MettleCI Agent Host

MettleCI requires a dedicated physical or virtual server with the following specification to act as the MettleCI Agent 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 or later (see note below on Windows 2012 compatibility).

  • 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...).
