Plan your replication system
The Replication Server Configuration Guide for UNIX provides the necessary
information, including an installation worksheet and a database setup
worksheet to help you plan your replication system. Become familiar with
Chapter 1, “Preparing to Install and Configure Replication Server” and the
requirements of your replication system before continuing with the installation.
Review system requirements
Replication Server requires a computer with the system configuration
described in Table 1-1.

Review operating system patch requirements
Contact your operating system provider for any patches recommended for your
installation, or check the Replication Server release bulletin for your platform.
Item Requirement
Disk storage A minimum of 450MB of available hard disk space:

• An additional 20MB for each Replication Server disk partition. The disk partition may be on
a different disk than your Sybase software.
• One of the following:
• 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 (ERRSD). See
your Adaptive Server Enterprise documentation for system requirements.

database directory, transaction log directory, and backup directory that make up the 80MB
