This section lists the requirements for installing and using each of the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 applications:
The Solaris Master Server requires the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 operating system. The server must meet the following hardware requirements:
SPARC hardware only for the Solaris 8 operating system.
450 MHz single or multiple CPU.
At least 1 GByte RAM.
2 GBytes HD free space. The space required for the database is determined by the size of your deployed applications.
The following table lists the /etc/system settings that are required for a Solaris system that is running the Master Server.
If you are using the Solaris 9 OS, you cannot change the values for shmsys:shminfo_shmmin and shmsys:shminfo_shmseg. The default values for these settings are acceptable.
The Solaris Local Distributor requires the Solaris 7, Solaris 8, Solaris 9, or Solaris 10 operating system. The server must meet the following hardware requirements:
SPARC hardware only for the Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 operating systems.
400 MHz single or multiple CPU.
At least 256 MBytes RAM.
1 GBytes HD free space. The space required for cache is determined by the size of your deployed applications.
The bc command must be in the user's path when the Red Hat Linux Master Server installation begins. Without the bc command, the installation exits and requests that bc be installed. Install the bc-1.06-5.rpm package or a later version of the package.
The Red Hat Linux Master Server requires Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1.
The server must meet the following hardware requirements:
1 GHz single or multiple CPU, Intel x86-compatible hardware only.
At least 1 GByte RAM.
2 GBytes HD free space. The space required for the database is determined by the size of your deployed applications.
The Red Hat Linux Master Server installer checks the following system parameters and exits with an error if the minimum values are not met.
