Summary of Supported Platforms
Chapter 3 Computer System Requirements 35
Storage Space/Hard Disk Approximately 300 MB of disk space for a minimal installation. For
production systems, you should plan at least 2 GB to support the
product binaries, databases, and log files (log files require 1 GB by
default); 4GB and greater may be required for very large directories.
Other Requirements You must install as root in order to use well-known port numbers (such
as 389) that are less than 1024. If you do not plan to use port numbers
less than 1024, you do not need to install as root. If you plan to run as
root, you should also install as root and specify nobody as the default
run-as user and group.
Sun Solaris® Platform Requirements
OS Version Solaris 8 (32-bit) or Solaris 9 (32-bit) with relevant patches. For details,
see “Sun Solaris 8 Operating System” on page 54 or “Sun Solaris 9
Operating System” on page 61.
Solaris bits can run in 32-bit or 64-bit operating system mode (32 bit
application certified on 64 bit mode).
CPU Ultra 10 or faster (32 bit).
Memory/RAM 256 MB. However, you should plan from 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM for
best performance on large production systems.
Storage Space/Hard Disk Approximately 300 MB of disk space for a minimal installation. For
production systems, you should plan at least 2 GB to support the
product binaries, databases, and log files (log files require 1 GB by
default); 4GB and greater may be required for very large directories.
To support database files that are larger than 2 GB, the machine must be
configured to support large files; you can do this by choosing
largefile.
Other Requirements You must install as root in order to use well-known port numbers
(such as 389) that are less than 1024. If you do not plan to use port
numbers less than 1024, you do not need to install as root. If you plan
to run as root, you should also install as root and specify nobody, or
a similar user ID that has very few privileges, as the default run-as user
and group.
