Pre-installation tasks

Plan your replication system

The Replication Server Configuration Guide for UNIX provides the necessary information, including an installation worksheet and a database setup worksheet to help you plan your replication system. Become familiar with Chapter 1, “Preparing to Install and Configure Replication Server” and the requirements of your replication system before continuing with the installation.

Review system requirements

 

 

Replication Server requires a computer with the system configuration

 

 

described in Table 1-1.

 

 

Table 1-1: System requirements for UNIX

Item

 

Requirement

 

 

 

 

Disk storage

 

A minimum of 450MB of available hard disk space:

 

 

• 400MB for the Replication Server software, supporting files, and log files.

 

 

• An additional 20MB for each Replication Server disk partition. The disk partition may be on

 

 

a different disk than your Sybase software.

 

 

• One of the following:

 

 

• Disk space for your Adaptive Server Enterprise database, which serves as your Replication

 

 

Server System Database (RSSD) if you are not using the Embedded RSSD (ERRSD). See

 

 

your Adaptive Server Enterprise documentation for system requirements.

 

 

• 80MB for your Adaptive Server Anywhere database, which serves as your ERSSD. The

 

 

database directory, transaction log directory, and backup directory that make up the 80MB

 

 

should each reside on different disks.

 

 

More disk space may be required, depending on your replication system application.

 

 

 

Operating

 

One of the following platforms:

system

 

• Sun Solaris SPARC 8, 9, and 10

 

 

 

 

• Sun Solaris Opteron x64 10

 

 

• HP–UX 11.11 and 11.23

 

 

• IBM AIX 5.2

 

 

 

Supported

 

TCP/IP

protocols
