System Requirements for Applications on Solaris OS Systems

Solaris Master Server

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.

Note –

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.

Table 2–3 Solaris /etc/system Settings


Variable	Minimum Value
`shmsys:shminfo_shmmax`	0x20000000 [536870912 in decimal (512Mb), but this number must be specified in hex for the Solaris 8 Operating System.]
`shmsys:shminfo_shmmin`	1
`shmsys:shminfo_shmmni`	2
`shmsys:shminfo_shmseg`	1
`semsys:seminfo_semmni`	32
`semsys:seminfo_semmns`	512
`semsys:seminfo_semmsl`	17
`semsys:seminfo_semvmx`	537

Solaris Local Distributor, Remote Agent, and CLI Client

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.
