Zephyr Server Requirements

Zephyr must run in an isolated instance where there is no Jira running or any other Tomcat.

Zephyr should only be installed on its' own server. If you are running a Jira instance, it should be installed on a different server.
We recommend you to have Zephyr installed on a separate instance from where you have your Jira/Tomcat installed.

Database Requirements

Evaluation Environment	Production Environment
The Zephyr Enterprise installer provides an option for using Embedded MySQL for the database. This should only be used for evaluation purposes and not for production instances.	We recommend you always use an external database for improved performance and easy maintenance when setting up your production instance/server. This provides you with proper system performance for your Zephyr instance.

Additional Notes

All port numbers mentioned are by default, and can be configured to fit your specific environment setup. If any firewalls or proxies are present, it is required that they support the WebSocket protocol.

Ports Explained:

80, 443(if HTTPS), 8005 and 8009 are used by tomcat and can be configured in the server.xml file under zephyr\tomcat\conf\
3306 is used by MySQL in Linux and configured in the my.cnf
9300 is used by Elastic search
5701, 5702, 37000, 37001 are used by Hazelcast

Software Version Explained:

Elasticsearch 5.5.0 is strictly required for installing Zephyr Server.
The MySQL software has to be the major/minor (5.6.X or 5.7.X) version
No other MySQL should be present on the server instance
Oracle JDK must be JDK 8u101 or higher. JRE is not supported
Zephyr Enterprise Server for Windows includes MySQL in the installation package on top of allowing remote MySQL
Zephyr Enterprise Server for Linux requires a separate installation of MySQL not included in the installation package on top of allowing remote MySQL
