On UNIX® platforms, you can check your operating system version by using the uname command. Disk space can be checked by using the df command.
Note –
Use the NTFS file system rather than FAT or FAT32 when running the Enterprise Server on any Microsoft Windows platform.
System Virtualization Support
System virtualization is a technology that enables multiple operating system (OS) instances to execute independently on shared hardware. Functionally, software deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Sun performs testing of its Sun Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations to help validate that the Sun Java System products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems. For information about Sun support for Sun Java System products in virtualized environments, see System Virtualization Support in Sun Java System Products.
Required Disk Space
Your temporary directory must have a minimum of 35 MB of free space for the installation of Enterprise Server v3 Prelude.
Required Free Ports
You must have seven unused ports available.
The installation program automatically detects ports that are in use and suggests currently unused ports for the default settings.
The initial default port assignments are listed in the following table. If these default port numbers are in use, the installation program assigns a randomly selected port number from the dynamic port range. The selected port number might not be the next available port number.

The following binary files that are used with Enterprise Server must come from the JDK software, not the Java Runtime Environment (JRETM) software:
-
java
-
keytool
To meet this requirement, ensure that the bin directory of the JDK software is at the start of your path.

The following table lists databases and drivers that meet the Java EE compatibility requirements. All supported configurations of the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude must contain at least one combination of database and driver from this table, such as the Java DB and driver. In addition, the Enterprise Server is designed to support connectivity through Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBCTM) technology to any additional database management system (DBMS) with a corresponding driver that supports the JDBC API (JDBC driver).
