The system and hardware requirements for ArcGIS Mission Server are listed below. The missionserverdiag tool checks that your requirements are up to date for ArcGIS Mission Server during setup.
Internet access is required when installing ArcGIS Mission Server on Linux. During installation, the installer will retrieve specific dependencies of the Linux environment being configured.
Hardware requirements
The minimum RAM requirement for ArcGIS Mission Server is 8 GB per unique license role.
For a production environment, minimum hardware requirements are not listed because the user and business needs of the software may vary. These requirements must be considered in determining hardware needs to meet performance and scalability expectations.
Firewall settings
ArcGIS Mission Server communicates on ports 20443 and 20300. You must open these ports on your firewall before installing the software.
Temporary space requirements
By default, resources are extracted to the system /tmp directory. This directory must have read, write, and execute permissions enabled. If the required space is not available in the /tmp directory, the setup program will attempt to extract resources to the user's HOME directory. If the required space is not available in the user's HOME directory, the setup program will report an error indicating this problem. Optionally, you can specify an alternate temporary location by setting the IATEMPDIR environment variable.
Linux operating system requirements
The 64-bit operating systems described below satisfy the minimum operating system requirements. Support is not provided for 32-bit operating systems; the setup will only proceed if the operating system is 64 bit. Machines with an underscore in the name are not supported. The setup will not proceed if an underscore is detected in the machine name.
The operating system of your ArcGIS Mission Server machines can be different from those of the other machines in your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. The most common scenario for this is to deploy ArcGIS Mission Server on Linux machines while the rest of the ArcGIS Enterprise deployment is on Microsoft Windows machines.
You cannot install the software as a root user. If you attempt to do so, the installation will not proceed, and a software diagnostics tool will display an error message indicating that you cannot install as root.
| Supported operating systems | Latest update or service pack tested |
|---|---|
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Server 7 | Update 7 |
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 | Service Pack 4 |
Ubuntu Server LTS 18 | 18.04.3 |
Ubuntu Server LTS 16 | 16.04.6 |
CentOS Linux 7 | 7.7 |
Scientific Linux 7 | 7.7 |
Oracle Linux 7 | Update 7 |
Prior and future updates or service packs on these operating system versions are supported unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.
Cloud implementation
Cloud implementation is not currently supported by ArcGIS Mission Server.
SSL certificates
ArcGIS Mission Server is pre-configured with a self-signed certificate that allows the server to be initially tested and to help you quickly verify that your installation was successful.
You must request a certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA) and configure ArcGIS Mission Server to use it. This can be a domain certificate issued by your organization or a CA-signed certificate. The certificate must have a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) configured or ArcGIS Mission Server will not work properly.
Portal for ArcGIS also includes a preconfigured self-signed certificate. Because you'll federate an ArcGIS Mission Server site with your portal, request a certificate from a trusted CA and configure the portal to use it.
ArcGIS Web Adaptor
ArcGIS Web Adaptor is a required component of an ArcGIS Mission Server deployment. The web adaptor allows you to integrate your ArcGIS Mission Server with your existing web server. Deploying ArcGIS Mission Server without the web adaptor is not supported at this time. the web adaptor is configured with port 80 or port 443. Using other ports is not supported. See about ArcGIS Web Adaptor for more details.
Software prerequisites
ArcGIS Mission Server can be installed on its own or can be installed with other ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 components.
Note:
Whether you are installing a new deployment or upgrading from an earlier version, ensure that all your software components — the ArcGIS Enterprise portal, an ArcGIS Server site, and ArcGIS Data Store — are installed and running ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.
As part of the base deployment, an ArcGIS Data Store is required. The spatiotemporal big data store is the default data store when creating a mission with ArcGIS Mission. A message appears when creating a mission if the spatiotemporal big data store is not detected, configured, or available. A relational data store will instead be used by default. Because missions can contain large quantities of data and span an extended period of time, it is highly recommended that you use a spatiotemporal big data store. The spatiotemporal big data store allows you to store data more efficiently due to its archive of high-volume data and the support for high-velocity write throughput.
During ArcGIS Mission Server set up, you will federate your new ArcGIS Mission Server site with your Enterprise portal 10.8.
Domain name service and fully qualified domain name recommendations
It's recommended that you configure your organization's Domain Name Service (DNS) to include Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) entries for the ArcGIS Mission Server site. The ArcGIS Enterprise portal will request the FQDN of your server site when you federate it.
Supported web browsers
The ArcGIS Mission Server installation wizard is supported by all web browsers including but not limited to the following:
- Safari
- Google Chrome
- Microsoft Edge
