If additional client-server software is installed, such as that on the Netra(TM) Ready(TM) CD, more disk space is needed. Refer to the that software's documentation for disk space requirements.


Note -

If you download the Netra j 3.0 software from the Web, you will need an additional 280 megabytes of temporary disk space in a download directory.


To verify your free disk space, type this command as the superuser:


# df -lk

If the system to be configured as a Netra j 3.0 server is not already part of a functional network, then you will need a CD-ROM drive, monitor, keyboard, and mouse for installation and initial configuration. If the system is already part of a network, these tasks can be performed from a client.

Though not necessary, an internal diskette drive and an external tape drive are helpful accessories. An internal diskette drive enables you to back up the Netra j 3.0 server configuration onto removable media, for secure storage. An external tape drive enables you to back up portions of the Netra j 3.0 server file system.

Software

The system to be configured as a Netra j 3.0 server must contain the following software:
