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.

Disk storage |
| A minimum of 450MB of available hard disk space: |

|
| a different disk than your Sybase software. |
|
| • One of the following: |
|
| • Disk space for your Adaptive Server Enterprise database, which serves as your Replication |
