Siebel Search uses Hummingbird SearchServer 5.3. Hummingbird SearchServer 5.3 server can be installed on an HP-UX, AIX or Solaris computer.

NOTE:  It is recommended that you install the Hummingbird SearchServer on the designated Siebel Server before you install any Siebel software. If you want to install Hummingbird SearchServer after a Siebel Server installation, see Configuring a Previously Installed Siebel Server as a Search Server Under UNIX.

For information about supported versions of HP-UX, AIX or Solaris operating systems, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.

Make sure that the following requirements are met before you begin the installation process:

• You must have administrator permission for the machine on which you will be installing Hummingbird. For information on setting up appropriate permissions for the installation, see Siebel Installation Guide for UNIX: Servers, Mobile Web Clients, Tools.
• If you plan to have very large indices (or frequent searches and indexing), use a dedicated Siebel Server.
• Make sure that you have enough disk space for the indices. When the indexing engine is running, two sets of index files exist until the final sort file is merged with the existing dictionary and reference file. Until a single updated set of index files is generated, temporary space requirements for indexing can be two to four times the ultimate size of the index files.
• The Search Server machine must have client connectivity to the database.
• You must determine where the shared document indices will be kept, create a share name for the location, and give all users read access to it.
