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.

Item Requirement
RAM A minimum of 512MB RAM.
Disk storage

For a full installation, the total disk space required is approximately 2GB.

Disk space required:
  • 950MB for the Replication Server software, supporting files, and log files.
  • 350MB if you are installing Data Assurance (DA) Option.
  • 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-UX Itanium 11.31 (64-bit)

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

  • IBM AIX (64-bit):
    • AIX 6.1
    • AIX 7.x

    Before you install Replication Server, install the IBM XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX and the SMP Runtime Libraries required 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.”
