Operating system

IMPORTANT

  • Ubuntu 22.04 is being replaced by Ubuntu 24.04 in releases after April 1, 2026.

  • Starting with ADS 3.9.1.2.b1, support for the following OS has been discontinued:

    • CentOS 7.9

    • RHEL 7.9

    • ALT Linux 8.4 SP

  1. ADS supports only x86_64 architecture and the following operating systems:

    • Ubuntu 22.04;

    • ALT Linux 10 SP — available only for the Enterprise version;

    • Astra Linux 1.7 "Orel" SE with Axiom JDK — available only for the Enterprise version;

    • Astra Linux 1.7 "Voronezh" SE with Axiom JDK — available only for the Enterprise version;

    • RED OS 7.3 Certified edition — available only for the Enterprise version.

  2. You need to prepare all dependent repositories together with the chosen operating system.

  3. In the case of online installation, you must provide access to the repositories listed on the Configuration tab in the ADS cluster menu in the ADCM UI. The Configuration tab is described in Configure a cluster.

  4. In the case of offline installation, you must provide access to the host where the Enterprise Tools cluster is deployed. Installing an Enterprise Tools cluster is described in the section Install Enterprise Tools cluster.

  5. To support kTLS (supported since ADS 3.9.0.1.b1), you need an operating system kernel version 5.9 or higher. kTLS mode is enabled by default. However, if your kernel version is lower than required, you will be rolled back to the default mode.

  6. To use Astra Linux "Voronezh", the ADCM service user must have the integrity label 63: sudo pdpl-user -i 63 adcm.

Preinstalled software

  1. NTP must be preconfigured on servers.

  2. Access must be given to the root user or another user with sudo rights.

  3. Java 21 must be pre-installed on the hosts for all services.

Install Java

Starting with ADS 3.9.1.2.b1, when installing or upgrading the distribution, all required Java versions are installed on all hosts in the /usr/lib/jvm/ directory from the Arenadata Java repository. This is determined by the Custom Java config parameter and controlled by the cluster settings. You can still use the Java version supplied with the operating system or a custom installation.

When using Java from the Arenadata Java repository, before installing/updating the ADS cluster, perform:

  • Online installation

    Make sure that on the cluster configuration page, in the group with repositories for the selected operating system (for example, Ubuntu 22 repositories), the arenadata_java repository has the enabled parameter set to true (by default).

    Enabling the Arenadata Java Repository
    Enabling Arenadata Java

  • Offline installation

    Download the additional offline package (shell script) for Java, obtained from the Arenadata support team, into the Arenadata Enterprise Tools cluster (for detailed information on downloading packages, refer to step 2 in the Install a cluster article).

Make sure that when performing the Install, Add/Remove components, or Update action in the opened window, in the list of required installation parameters, the Install OpenJDK parameter is set to true.

CAUTION
Arenadata is not an official JDK provider, and this feature is provided to ensure a fully automatic installation on systems that do not have the necessary dependencies. In production environments, we recommend using a JDK from official providers.

Installation features

  1. The installation process modifies files that should not be controlled by the configuration management system (if available):

    • system file /etc/hosts;

    • system file /etc/selinux/config;

    • system file /etc/sysctl.conf.

  2. The installation process creates files in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ that should not be controlled by the configuration management system (if available).

  3. Services installed on a cluster should not be controlled by the configuration management system (if available).

  4. It is recommended to switch off any antivirus software before ADS installation and during the ADS operation process. In case of using antivirus, please contact your antivirus software vendor to find out the settings necessary to allow ADS.

SELinux

SELinux must be turned off. The full guide about this operation you can find in Install ADCM.

Firewall

Firewall must be stopped. The full guide about this operation you can find in Install ADCM.

Supported browsers for NiFi

  1. The work of the NiFi service is supported by browsers:

    • Chrome

    • FireFox

    • Edge

    • Safari

  2. UI is supported in the current stable release of that browser and the preceding one. For instance, if the current stable release is 45.X then the officially supported versions will be 45.X and 44.X.

  3. For Safari, which releases major versions much less frequently, supported versions will be the two latest releases.

  4. The supported browser versions are driven by the capabilities the UI employs and the dependencies it uses. UI features are developed and tested against the supported browsers.
