Before Installing HP DCE/9000 Version 1.7

Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Hardware and Software Requirements

Any HP system that you want to make a member of a cell must meet certain hardware and software requirements. The system requirements are:

System Type

HP 9000 Series 700 or Series 800.

Operating

 

System

HP-UX 11.0.

Kernel

 

Configuration

See “Series 700 and 800 Kernel Parameter

 

Recommendations” in this chapter for recommended

 

kernel parameter settings.

 

You can check and, if necessary, change these values

 

via SAM (the HP-UX System Administration

 

Manager).

Memory

A minimum 32 Mb of memory is recommended for

 

client-only systems; 64 Mb for server systems.

Swap Space

A minimum 50 Mb of swap space is recommended for

 

client-only systems; at least 100 Mb is recommended

 

for systems running one or more DCE servers. Device

 

swap is strongly recommended over file system swap.

File System

HP DCE/9000 must be installed on a long-name file

 

system. If you have a short-name file system, you must

 

first run convertfs(1m) to convert your file system to

 

long names.

Series 700 and 800 Kernel Parameter Recommendations

Hewlett-Packard has found that the default kernel parameter values for a 11.0 system installed with Runtime bundles are sufficient for running HP DCE 1.7 clients and servers under normal conditions (small cells with hundreds of users) with the following exceptions:
