    BMC Remedy AR System 7.6.03 Compatibility Matrix

    Introduction

    The BMC Remedy AR System 7.6.03 Compatibility Matrix is divided into multiple areas of support. Each of theseareas is further broken down into three sections:

      Supported Configurations   Known Issues   Potential Issues

     Supported Configurations are those where the configuration is expected to work properly based on design, testing

    or general understanding of the interaction between products. For supported configurations, BMC CustomerSupport will work with customers on an issue involving the configuration until either the issue is resolved or adefect / enhancement is logged.

    Configurations not listed may still operate properly with AR System and thus customers may choose to run AR

    System in a configuration not listed as supported. Such configurations would be considered as “unconfirmed”.BMC Remedy will accept issues reported in unconfirmed configurations but we reserve the right to requestcustomer assistance in problem determination, including recreating the problem on a supported configuration.

    Reported defects either found to be unique to an unconfirmed configuration or not reproducible within a supportedenvironment will be addressed at the discretion of BMC Remedy. Defects requiring time and resources beyond

    commercially reasonable effort may not be addressed. If a configuration is found to be incompatible with ARSystem or ITSM applications, support for that configuration will be specifically documented as not supported (orunsupported –  c.f. Known Issues below).

    The Known Issues section documents any known additional requirements or incompatibilities between BMC

     products and products from other vendors. This list represents only those situations that BMC has encountered orresearched and may not represent an exhaustive list.

    The Potential Issues section documents issues of supportability or incompatibility between BMC products and products from other vendors that are for informational purposes only. Final word on these statements would need

    to be stated in documentation from the other vendor.

    In all tables, Italics indicate an addition since AR System 7.5.00.

    BMC Remedy AR System 7.6.03 Compatibility Matrix

    Vendor Backwards Compatibility and AR System 7.6.03

    It is expected that a vendor will retain full backwards compatibility with existing major or minor versions of a product when releasing newer versions of their products. This includes major, minor and maintenance releases aswell as service packs, patches, updates or other similar level of changes. Unless otherwise stipulated by writtencommunication from BMC Software, BMC Remedy AR System supports the listed version of vendor products or

    higher with regard to supported server operating systems, desktop operating systems, databases, web or applicationservers, servlet engines or browsers. However, this support is limited by documented compatibility restrictionsfrom the vendors themselves.

    For example, if Oracle database version 10g were listed, AR System would support Oracle database version

    10g, 11g and future higher versions of Oracle database.

    In the event that a vendor does not provide backwards compatibility, BMC reserves the right to rescind support fora specified version of a vendor’s product and document such incompatibilities once confirmed. BMC may, atBMC’s discretion, attempt to address a discovered incompatibility by modifying the current version of AR System.However, if major architectural changes in a vendor product require significant BMC development to achievetolerance, support for the vendor product may be deferred to a later version of AR System.

    Virtual environment support

    Support Definitions for Virtual Environments

    Support is defined at two levels —  full or partial. A fully supported virtual environment indicates that BMCwill accept problems reported in the virtual environment; recreate any reported problems within the virtual

    environment; and address the issue in the same manner as other reported issues on non-virtual environments.

    Partial support indicates that BMC will accept problems reported in the virtual environments specified below,

     but reserves the right to request customer assistance in problem determination, including recreating the problemin a non-virtual environment. Under partial support, reported defects either found to be unique to a virtual

    environment or not reproducible within a native non-virtual environment will be addressed at the discretion ofBMC. Defects requiring time and resources beyond commercially reasonable effort may not be addressed.

    BMC will only provide partial or full support for those operating systems running within a virtual environmentthat are defined within BMC Remedy compatibility matrices as supported on a non-virtual environment.

    Partially supported virtual environments

     Vendor Virtual platform

     VMWare GSX Server, Workstation, VMWare Server,

    Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMotion Enabled Environments

    Fully supported virtual environments The following are fully supported virtual environments for the BMC Atrium CMDB or BMC Remedy IT

    Service Management applications running on:

     Vendor Virtual platform

     VMWare ESX Server™ 

    Sun Microsystems Solaris 10 Zones (Whole Root and Sparse)

    Hewlett Packard HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPar)

    IBM  AIX Logical Partitions (LPAR)

    Microsoft Hyper-V

    Known incompatibilities for virtual environments

    1.  BMC recommends against running server components of BMC Atrium technologies or BMC Remedy

    or earlier cannot be used with AR System. The Premium edition of BMC Analytics is required.2.  SAP strongly recommends that BusinessObjects XI 3.0 customers upgrade to BusinessObjects XI 3.1 in
