Grid Center Installation
The Grid Center Administration Console can be installed on Windows 2000/2003
Server or Windows XP Professional. The Grid Center Blade client can be installed on
Windows XP Professional. The Grid Center I/Port clients can be installed on I8800,
Eon e100, and Capio One I/Ports. The Grid Center Administration Console and the
Grid Center Blade client should not be installed on the same system. Installation of
either package requires local administrator access privileges.
For Grid Center to function properly, the following components must be installed. All
these components are provided as part of the All-in-One installer.
• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2—Grid Center 4.11 requires
JRE version 1.4.2_03 or later. The correct JRE version is provided on the Grid
Center 4.11 CD shipped from ClearCube. The version of a previously installed
Java package can be checked in Add or Remove Programs from the Control
Panel, or by running the Java -version command at the DOS prompt, which
returns the installed Java version. Versions previous to 1.4.2_03 should be
removed.
Version 1.4.2 or later of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition 1.4 Software Development
Kit (SDK), which adds support for EJBs, JSPs, XML, and Web Services APIs, can
also be used (not provided on the Grid Center 4.11 installation CD).
Version 1.5 or higher is not supported.
• ActiveState Perl 5.6.1—Grid Center 4.11 requires ActiveState Perl 5.6.1. The

from ClearCube. The version of a previously installed ActiveState Perl can be
checked in Add or Remove Programs from the Control Panel, or by running the
Perl -version command at the DOS prompt, which returns the installed Perl
version. Versions previous to 5.6.1 should be removed.
Versions higher than 5.6.x are not supported.
The ActiveState Repository has a large collection of modules and extensions in
binary packages that are easy to install and use. To view and install these
packages, use the Perl Package Manager (PPM) which is included with
ActivePerl.
