Installing a New Server

This Quick Start provides basic information for setting up a new server to run products in the Novell Small Business Suite, including OES NetWare®, GroupWise® 6.5 with SP4, BorderManager® 3.8, and ZENworks® 6.5 Desktop Management.


Plan Deployment

This new server can be the first server in your network that you set up, or you can install it into an existing network. If you are upgrading the operating system or any of the other products in the suite from a previous version of Novell Small Business Suite, see "Upgrading the Server and Other Products in the Suite" in the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide.

For complete instructions and known and interoperability issues, see the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide and "Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Readme""Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Readme".

You can set up a basic server for file, print, and collaboration fairly quickly on basic hardware. To set up a server that includes the full functionality provided by the suite requires additional planning and setup. For details, see "Planning Your Deployment" in the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide.


Meet Recommend System Requirements

Meet the system requirements for the products you want to deploy. To install all products included in the suite on a single server, make sure the server meets the following recommended requirements.

NOTE:  DirXML® Starter Pack and Novell® Cluster ServicesTM require more than one server.

  • A server-class PC with two-way Pentium* III, Pentium III Xeon, Pentium4, or Intel* Xeon 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 Super VGA or higher resolution display adapter.
  • 1 GB of RAM. If installing BorderManager Proxy Services, an additional 1 GB of RAM is recommended.
  • A boot partition with 1 GB of available space.
  • Disk Space:
    • 8 GB of available, unpartitioned disk space outside the DOS partition for volume sys:
    • 2 GB for GroupWise (1 GB for the GroupWise file copy directories on volume sys: and 1 GB data volume or an additional 1 GB on volume sys: for user's Post Office directories)
    • 2 GB minimum dedicated CACHE volume for BorderManager Proxy Services. This volume must be a Traditional volume.


Meet Software and Other Requirements

Depending on the network configuration, you might need the following:

  • Novell Small Business Suite Operating System and Products CDs and License diskette.
  • Novell Client Software CD.
  • Novell GroupWise Admin, Client, and Messenger CDs (required only when copying GroupWise files).
  • Supervisor right at the [Root] of the eDirectory tree. User Admin or equivalent has this right.
  • If connecting to the Internet: Contract services from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and get the desired setup and IP information required. If the ISP requires PPPoE handshaking, you need to set up a third-party gateway router.

    For details, see the Small Business Server Configuration Worksheet and "Setting Up Internet Connectivity" in the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide.

  • If the drivers are not included in the installation: Know the network board and storage device properties, such as the interrupt and port address.
