Requirements

System requirements for IBM Aspera Enterprise Server:

• Product-specific Aspera license file.
• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, 17.10; RHEL 6-7; CentOS 6-7; SLES 11-12; Debian 7-9; Fedora 26-27; Kernel 2.4 or higher and Glibc 2.5+. Linux distributions/kernels released after the product release date might not be compatible.
• Glibc 2.5 or higher.
• SSH Server. Version 5.2 or higher is recommended.
• Screen resolution 1024 x 768 or higher for graphical user interface.

If you plan to set up and use the Node API, you must also meet the following requirements on each node machine:

• Version 3.7.4 or later. Earlier versions use an SSH key type that is no longer accepted by servers as of version 3.7.4.
• Identify a directory that you plan to use for sharing data. When you set up the Aspera transfer user (Node API Setup), you set their absolute path (docroot) to this directory.
• The line 127.0.0.1 localhost must appear in the hosts file:

  /etc/hosts

• For UNIX-based nodes, SELinux must be set to "permissive" or "disabled", not "enforced". To check the status of SELinux, run the following:

  # sestatus

  If SELinux is set to "enforced", see Disabling SELinux.

• Using this application on a cloud platform and accessing the object-based cloud storage requires an On Demand license. To obtain an On Demand license, contact your Aspera account manager.
