NetWare Only System Requirements

Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 will run on the minimum system requirements listed below. For optimal performance, the computer should meet the recommended requirements.

NetWare and GroupWise Recommended System Requirements

For optimal performance, the computer should meet the following recommended requirements for running NetWare and GroupWise^® on the same server.

• A server-class PC with two-way Pentium III 700 MHz or higher processors
• One or more network boards
• A bootable CD drive that supports the El Torito specification
• A USB or PS/2 mouse
• A VESA-compliant 1.2 or later display adapter
• 1 GB of RAM
• A DOS partition with 1 GB of available space

  To determine the optimal size of a boot partition, add the amount of server memory to the minimum amount of the available disk space. The minimum amount of available space is 200 MB, so a server with 1024 MB RAM has an optimal boot partition of 1224 MB (1024 MB + 200 MB = 1224 MB). This size will allow you to do a core dump to the disk drive if required.

• 10 GB of available, unpartitioned disk space outside the DOS partition for volume sys:
• 2 GB of disk space for GroupWise files and the following directories:

  The GroupWise and Messenger File Copy requires approximately 959 MB. This component is used by both of the Small Business patterns.

  The GroupWise Installation creates the following directories and uses the following amounts of disk space:

  Directory or Agent	Space Required (based on 100 users)
  Software Distribution directory	500 MB
  Domain directory	10 MB
  Post Office directory	10 MB disk space per user and disk space as needed for library documents
  Agents NetWare (MTA and POA) = 21 MB GroupWise Monitor (140 MB), GroupWise Web Access (215 MB), shared (110 MB) = 244 GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA) =37 MB Messenger Agents for NetWare = 8 MB	300 MB
  Total	1810 MB

NetWare and BorderManager Recommended System Requirements

For optimal performance, the computer should meet the following recommended requirements for running NetWare and BorderManager^® on the same server.

• A server-class PC with two-way Pentium III 700 MHz or higher processors
• One or more network boards
• A bootable CD drive that supports the El Torito specification
• A USB or PS/2 mouse
• A VESA-compliant 1.2 or later display adapter
• 1 GB of RAM
• A DOS partition with 1 GB of available space

  To determine the optimal size of a boot partition, add the amount of server memory to the minimum amount of the available disk space. The minimum amount of available space is 250 MB, so a server with 1024 MB RAM has an optimal boot partition of 1274 MB (1024 MB + 250 MB = 1274 MB). This size will allow you to do a core dump to the disk drive if required.

• 10 GB of available, unpartitioned disk space outside the DOS partition for volume sys:
• Minimum 2 GB dedicated CACHE volume if you are installing Proxy Caching. The volume must be a traditional volume.

NetWare and ZENworks Desktop Management Recommended System Requirements

For optimal performance, the computer should meet the following recommended requirements for running NetWare and ZENworks^® Desktop Management on the same server.

• A server-class PC with two-way Pentium III 700 MHz or higher processors
• One or more network boards
• A bootable CD drive that supports the El Torito specification
• A USB or PS/2 mouse
• A VESA-compliant 1.2 or later display adapter
• 1 GB of RAM
• A DOS partition with 1 GB of available space

  To determine the optimal size of a boot partition, add the amount of server memory to the minimum amount of the available disk space. The minimum amount of available space is 200 MB, so a server with 1024 MB RAM has an optimal boot partition of 1224 MB (1024 MB + 200 MB = 1224 MB). This size will allow you to do a core dump to the disk drive if required.

• 10 GB of available, unpartitioned disk space outside the DOS partition for volume sys:
• 290 MB of free space for ZENworks

NetWare, GroupWise, BorderManager and ZENworks Recommended System Requirements

For optimal performance, the computer should meet the following recommended requirements for running NetWare, GroupWise, BorderManager, and ZENworks on the same server.

• A server-class PC with two-way Pentium III 700 MHz or higher processors
• One or more network boards
• A bootable CD drive that supports the El Torito specification
• A USB or PS/2 mouse
• A VESA-compliant 1.2 or later display adapter
• 1 GB of RAM
• A DOS partition with 1 GB of available space

  To determine the optimal size of a boot partition, add the amount of server memory to the minimum amount of the available disk space. The minimum amount of available space is 250 MB, so a server with 1024 MB RAM has an optimal boot partition of 1274 MB (1024 MB + 250 MB = 1274 MB).

• 10 GB of available, unpartitioned disk space outside the DOS partition for volume sys:
• Minimum 2 GB dedicated CACHE volume if you are installing Proxy Caching (must be a traditional volume)
• 2 GB of disk space for GroupWise files and the following directories:

  A subcontainer administrator can install a Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 server into the tree under the following conditions:

  • If the server to be installed will receive a copy of the replica, then the administrator with the Supervisor right at the [Root] of the tree must first install three other new servers into the tree.
  • If the server to be installed will not receive a copy of the replica, then the administrator with the Supervisor right at the [Root] of the tree must first install one new server into the tree.
  • The subcontainer administrator must have the Read right to the NDSPKI:Private Key Attribute on the Organizational CA's object. The CA's object is located in the Security container.
  • The subcontainer administrator must have the Supervisor right to the W0 object located inside the KAP object in the Security container.

  These rights can be granted by placing all administrative users in a Group or Role, then assigning the rights to the Group or Role.

• Client connection utilities (optional, for installing from a network):
  • Novell Client^TM for DOS and Windows 3.1x (for installing from a Novell Small Business Suite server running IPX^TM)
  • IP Server Connection Utility (for installing from a Novell Small Business Suite server running IP only)

  For instructions, see products\serverinst\ipconn.txt on the Novell Client Software CD.

• IP address and domain names (optional, for connecting to the Internet):
