IBM AIX (64-bit)	AIX 5.3 – ML 07 or higher patch AIX 6.1 Before you start Replication Server, you must install the IBM XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX and the SMP Runtime Libraries for AIX that are suitable for your version of AIX. Obtain the libraries from your IBM AIX operating system installation media. These libraries are also available from the IBM AIX Web site: The IBM XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX is available on the Web site under “Latest updates for supported IBM C and C++ compilers.” The SMP Runtime Libraries for AIX are available on the Web site under “IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition for AIX, Runtime Environment and Utilities.”
Sun Solaris (SPARC) (64-bit)	Solaris 8, 9, and 10 – patch level 8_recommended
Sun Solaris x86-64 (64-bit)	Solaris 10 – patch level 10_recommended

For Sun Solaris: Install the latest Solaris recommended patch cluster appropriate for your system. In addition, install these patches if Sun has not yet included the patch in the latest Solaris recommended patch cluster.

Operating System	Recommended Patch Cluster
Sun Solaris SPARC 8	111721-04
Sun Solaris SPARC 9	Not applicable
Sun Solaris SPARC 10	Not applicable
Sun Solaris 10 x86-64	118345-03 and 119964-07 – to run Replication Server 15.6 with an ERSSD.

For Linux: Linux distribution vendors often provide errata packages, allowing you to upgrade and fix known issues within a release. Contact your Linux distributor for more information.

If your operating system requires patches, install the patches before you install Replication Server components.

Contact your operating system representative for patches recommended for Replication Server installed on your system. Do not use a patch that is older than the version suggested for your operating system. Use the patch recommended by the operating system vendor even if the patch version supersedes the listed patch.
