System requirements
You can install EAServer 5.5 either as a new installation or as an update of an
exisiting EAServer 5.0 installation.
This section provides system requirements for each type of EAServer
installation. For information on what Linux distributions are supported, see the
EAServer Release Bulletin for Linux. The memory requirement for all
installation types is 512MB. The disk space requirements provided are
approximate; the actual disk space required varies depending on options
selected, cluster size, hard disk size, and partitioning. The installation program
verifies that you have enough disk space and displays an error message if you
do not have enough space to install the selected products and features.
The installation program requires 150MB of temporary disk space. The disk
space for the installed software depends on the install type and the Linux
distributions. The following table depicts the minimum hard disk space
requirement on Red Hat Advanced Server 4.0 (RHAS) for the different
installation type.
