System Requirements for Replication Server on UNIX

Verify that you are running a supported operating system and that you have sufficient space available to set up and run the sample Replication Server on UNIX platforms.

System Requirements for Replication Server on UNIX Platforms
Item Requirement
RAM A minimum of 512MB RAM.
Disk storage
A minimum of 1GB of available hard disk space:
  • 950MB for the Replication Server software, supporting files, and log files.
  • An additional 20MB for each Replication Server disk partition. The disk partition may be on a different disk than your Sybase software.
One of:
  • Disk space for your Adaptive Server Enterprise database, which serves as your Replication Server System Database (RSSD) if you are not using the Embedded RSSD (ERSSD). See your Adaptive Server Enterprise documentation for system requirements.
  • 80MB for your SQL Anywhere database, which serves as your ERSSD. The database directory, transaction log directory, and backup directory that make up the 80MB should each reside on different disks.

More disk space may be required, depending on your replication system application.
Operating system
One of:
  • HP Itanium (64-bit):
    • HP-UX 11.23
    • HP-UX 11.31

    The installer requires the gzip utility. Ensure that the path to gzip is set in the $PATH environment variable.

  • IBM AIX (64-bit):
    • AIX 5.3
    • 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.”
  • Linux on x86 (32-bit and 64-bit):
    • Linux x86 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 update 5
      • kernel-2.6.9-55.EL
      • glibc-2.3.4-2.36
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 update 1
      • kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5
      • glibc-2.5-18
    • SuSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES 10
      • kernel-smp-2.6.16.21-0.8
      • glibc-2.4-31.2
    • SuSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES 11
      • kernel-*-2.6.27.19-5.1
      • glibc-2.9-13.2
  • Linux on IBM p-Series (Linux on POWER) (64-bit):
    • Linux x86 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 update: 5
      • kernel-2.6.9-55.EL
      • glibc-2.3.4-2.36
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 update: 1
      • kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5
      • glibc-2.5-18
    • SuSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES 10
      • kernel-smp-2.6.16.21-0.8
      • glibc-2.4-31.2
  • Sun Solaris on Sun SPARC (64-bit):
    • Solaris 8
    • Solaris 9
    • Solaris 10
  • Sun Solaris 10 x86-64 (64-bit)
