Hardware Requirements
On all platforms, you will need:
Storage Space/Hard Disk Approximately 300Mbyte of disk space for a minimal installation. For
production systems, you should plan at least 2Gbyte to support the
product binaries, databases, and log files (log files require 1Gbyte by
default); 4Gbyte and greater may be required for very large directories.
To support database files that are larger than 2Gbyte, the machine must be
configured to support large files; you can do this by choosing vxfs
filesystem with largefiles option. See the fsadm documentation for
more information.
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 9 with relevant patches. For details, see “Sun Solaris 9 Operating
System,” on page 37.
Solaris bits can run in 32-bit or 64-bit operating system mode.
CPU Ultra 10 or faster (64-bit).
Memory/RAM 256 MB. However, you should plan for 1Gbyte of RAM for best
performance on large production systems.
Storage Space/Hard Disk Approximately 300Mbyte of disk space for a minimal installation. For
production systems, you should plan at least 2Gbyte to support the
product binaries, databases, and log files (log files require 1Gbyte by
default); 4Gbyte and greater may be required for very large directories.
To support database files that are larger than 2Gbyte, 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 as the default run-as user
and group.
