This section explains the requirements for installing the Novell Access Manager Linux Access Gateway:
3 GB memory
Hard disk with a free partition of 100 GB--other than the / (root) partition--either as unformatted and unallocated free space or as an additional partition in the existing server.
3.0 GHz processor or better recommended, with 2.0 GHz as the minimum.
The Linux Appliance runs on SLES 9 SP3. The Linux Appliance has no software requirements.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have a static IP address for your Linux Access Gateway server and an assigned DNS name (host name and domain name). You need to know the following about your network:
The subnet mask that corresponds to the IP address of the Access Gateway.
The IP address of the default gateway.
The IP addresses of the DNS servers on your network. These DNS servers need to be configured to resolve the DNS name of the Access Gateway to the IP address that you assign to it.
The IP address or DNS name of a MCP server, if you have one in your local environment.
You are prompted to enter this information during the install.
