8.3.2 Prerequisites
This section lists the recommended hardware and software requirements for the
installation and operation of Nways Campus Manager ATM.
Hardware Requirements: ISC System/6000 POWERstations or POWERservers
(minimum 50 MHz CPU) with the following options:
An IBM compatible mouse
Swap space twice the amount of RAM. For a machine with 96 MB of
memory, for example, the recommendation is 192 MB of free disk space
for paging space.
A 256-color (8-bit plane) display device of at least 16 inches.
A display/graphic card that supports 1280*1024*8 pixels resolution, which
is set to this mode. If your display is configured for 1024*760*8 pixels,
push buttons at the bottom of some panels may not be displayed.
At least 96 MB of RAM, if you do not install LAN Network Manager.
At least 128 MB of RAM, if you install LAN Network Manager. The exact
amount of RAM depends on the size of the network you are managing
and the number of other applications and X-stations you may be
supporting.
At most 280 MB of free disk space if all components are installed.
For Router and Bridge Manager you require the following:
At least 60 MB of disk space for database files. Default location is
/usr/rabmv2.
At least 30 MB of disk space for program files for the server.
Location must be /usr/rabmv2.
At least 20 MB of disk space for program files for the client. Location
must be /usr/rabmv2.
For the server, you must have at least 32 MB of free disk space in
the /tmp file system for the ObjectStore cache. You can change the
location of this cache by setting the OS_CACHE_DIR and
OS_COMMSEG_DIR environment variables to another directory.
Both variables must be set in the same directory.
For the client, you must have at least 16 MB of free disk space for in
the /tmp file system for the ObjectStore cache. You can change the
location of this cache by setting the OS_CACHE_DIR and
OS_COMMSEG_DIR environment variables to another directory.
Both variables must be set in the same directory.
