Install Device
The disk space requirements in /opt/dirsrv, /etc/opt/dirsrv/ and /var/opt/
dirsrv are as follows:
• /opt/dirsrv
The initial product installation requires 115 MB of space in /opt/dirsrv for executables,
libraries, scripts and other related data. Each directory server instance created requires
1 MB of space in /opt/dirsrv.
• /etc/opt/dirsrv
The initial product installation requires 0.5 MB of space in /etc/opt/dirsrv for shared
configuration files. Each directory server instance created requires 1MB of space in /etc/
opt/dirsrv. The space usage in /etc/opt/dirsrv increases if customized schema
is added for the directory server instance and as certain PKI-related material is added
such as trusted issuers in the certificate database.
• /var/opt/dirsrv
Each Directory Server instance created requires an absolute minimum of 33 MB of space
in /var/opt/dirsrv for logs and database files. The space usage in /var/opt/dirsrv
increases as LDAP entries are added to the directory server, as log files grow, and if the
back-end database cache is increased.
The file system used for database files must have large file system support enabled. For
more information, see “Large file support” (page 14).
Use the bdf command to determine the available disk space on your system:
bdf /opt/dirsrv
bdf /etc/opt/dirsrv
bdf /var/opt/dirsrv
For more information on the bdf command, see the bdf(1M) manpage.

2.2 Operating system requirements
Directory Server runs on a 64-bit HP-UX 11i environment as a 64-bit process.
Directory Server runs on HP-UX version 11i v2 and v3 only; it is not supported on earlier HP-UX
versions.
For information on the configuration of the operating system, see “HP-UX system configuration”
(page 13).
2.3 HP-UX patches
The HP-UX 11i host must have the correct packages and dependencies installed to run Directory
Server. The patch list changes daily, so check the HP web site regularly to ensure you have the
latest releases:
