Portal for ArcGIS operating system requirements and limitations

All platforms

Portal for ArcGIS requires a 64-bit operating system.

Linux

  • Portal for ArcGIS is only supported on Linux x86_64 and on CPUs that adhere to the x86_64 architecture with supported 64-bit Linux releases.
  • It is a requirement that the OS (binary) has not been modified. Esri does not provide any support if products are installed on Developer's Release of an Operating System.
  • The File handle limit for the installation user needs to be set to 65535.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64 bit only)

  • The Linux patches from RHEL AS/ES will be supported as long as the patches are supported by the web servers and they are from Red Hat without any modification to the latest kernel/glibc version.

**Click here for RHEL 5 Update 7 + libX11 patch information.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (64 bit only)

  • The Linux patches from RHEL AS/ES will be supported as long as the patches are supported by the web servers and they are from Red Hat without any modification to the latest kernel/glibc version.

SUSE Linux 11 (64 bit only)

  • The Linux patches for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server will be supported as long as they are from SUSE Linux without any modification to the latest kernel/glibc version.

Supported virtualization environments

All components of Portal for ArcGIS are fully supported on virtual environments as long as they run on supported platforms. See supported platforms above. When running third-party applications with Portal for ArcGIS, such as relational databases, the application must also be supported in a virtual environment. Check the third-party vendor for its virtualization support.

If an issue is found to be specific to Esri software in a virtual environment, Esri Support Services will attempt to reproduce the issue on a stand-alone machine. If an issue cannot be reproduced with any of the supported platforms above on a stand-alone machine, Esri will not provide a fix or further support for issues that are specific to virtual environments except when the issues are in the following VM environments:
