Description of requirement

Install Device

CD-ROM drive to load the software or an Internet connection to Software Depot to download

 

the software.

 

 

Disk space

The disk space requirements in /opt/dirsrv, /etc/opt/dirsrv/ and /var/opt/

 

dirsrv are as follows:

 

/opt/dirsrv

 

 

The initial product installation requires 115 MB of space in /opt/dirsrv for executables,

 

 

libraries, scripts and other related data. Each directory server instance created requires

 

 

1 MB of space in /opt/dirsrv.

 

/etc/opt/dirsrv

 

 

The initial product installation requires 0.5 MB of space in /etc/opt/dirsrv for shared

 

 

configuration files. Each directory server instance created requires 1MB of space in /etc/

 

 

opt/dirsrv. The space usage in /etc/opt/dirsrv increases if customized schema

 

 

is added for the directory server instance and as certain PKI-related material is added

 

 

such as trusted issuers in the certificate database.

 

/var/opt/dirsrv

 

 

Each Directory Server instance created requires an absolute minimum of 33 MB of space

in /var/opt/dirsrv for logs and database files. The space usage in /var/opt/dirsrv increases as LDAP entries are added to the directory server, as log files grow, and if the back-end database cache is increased.

The file system used for database files must have large file system support enabled. For more information, see “Large file support” (page 14).

Use the bdf command to determine the available disk space on your system:

bdf /opt/dirsrv bdf /etc/opt/dirsrv bdf /var/opt/dirsrv

For more information on the bdf command, see the bdf(1M) manpage.

2.2 Operating system requirements

Directory Server runs on a 64-bit HP-UX 11i environment as a 64-bit process.

Directory Server runs on HP-UX version 11i v2 and v3 only; it is not supported on earlier HP-UX versions.

For information on the configuration of the operating system, see “HP-UX system configuration” (page 13).

2.3 HP-UX patches

The HP-UX 11i host must have the correct packages and dependencies installed to run Directory Server. The patch list changes daily, so check the HP web site regularly to ensure you have the latest releases:

http://www.software.hp.com/SUPPORT_PLUS/qpk.htmlhttp://welcome.hp.com/country/us/eng/support.htmThe following list describes patch and OS patch recommendations:HP-UX 11i v2

HP recommends, but does not require, that you install the HP-UX 11i v2 OS patch level OE September 2004 or later.

HP also recommends, but does not require, that you install patch PHCO_37940. To install patch PHCO_37940, you must update your system to B.11.23 September 2004 release.
