Supported UNIX and Linux Operating System Versions
Updated: August 30, 2017
Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, System Center 2012 - Operations Manager, System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager
The following tables describe the required UNIX and Linux operating systems and package dependencies.
Note
Monitoring UNIX and Linux computers with System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2 management server is supported when using the System Center 2016 - Operations Manager agent with the Operations Manager 2012 R2 UNIX and Linux management packs. You cannot import the required Operations Manager 2016 management packs for the specific version of UNIX/Linux and discover and deploy the Operations Manager 2016 agent from the Computer and Device Management wizard in your 2012 R2 management group. This task must be performed manually following the command-line based deployment.

Consult the Solaris documentation for details on installing UTF-8 code set conversion support. The Operations Manager agent functions without UTF-8 support on Solaris, but unrecognized characters are translated to question mark (?) characters.
