Before installing Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100, ensure that your system is updated with the latest patches and system requirements. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version suggested for your operating system. Use the patch recommended by the operating system vendor, even if it supersedes the patch listed.
rpm -q -a
In particular, systems that have Adaptive Server total memory set to a value higher than 1.5GB (or 2.5GB on some enterprise servers) may experience problems, and you may have to reduce Adaptive Server total memory.
Adaptive Server supports Pentium and higher chip sets.

See the Clusters Users Guide for hardware requirements for using Infiniband Interconnect on a production system. File system devices are not supported when running on multiple nodes.
If you intend to run the cluster under Symantec Storage Foundation for Sybase Cluster Edition, see Using the Cluster Edition with the Veritas Cluster Server, in the Clusters Users Guide. Veritas Cluster Server for Sybase Cluster Edition is supported only on Solaris Sparc64 and Linux x86-64; it is not available for Solaris x86-64.
Database devices in the Cluster Edition must support SCSI-3 persistent group reservations (SCSI PGRs). Cluster Edition uses SCSI PGRs to guarantee data consistency during cluster membership changes. SAP cannot guarantee data consistency on disk subsystems that do not support SCSI PGRs (such a configuration is supported for test and development environments that can tolerate the possibility of data corruption).
