The following requirements must be met for full Workstation Inventory functionality:
NetWare® 4.x or 5.x servers |
- NetWare 4.x with Support Pack 8a or later installed, NetWare 5.0 with Support Pack 5 or later installed, or NetWare 5.1 with Support Pack 2 or later installed . See Obtaining NetWare Support Packs for more information.
- 128 MB RAM.
- 45 MB for inventory with a database, 35 MB for inventory.
- Availability of a NetWare volume other than \SYS:.
- Valid IP address and IP Services installed.
- Java* Virtual Machine (JVM) shipped with the ZfD 3.2 Companion CD. See Obtaining and Installing the JVM for Your NetWare Server.
- On a NetWare 4.x server, install JVM and then install VisiBroker* shipped with the ZfD 3.2 Companion CD. Run the ORB.EXE to install VisiBroker on a NetWare 4.x server.
- Long name space installed.
|
Windows* NT*/2000 servers |
- Windows NT 4.0 with Support Pack 4 or later installed.
- NDS® for NT 8 or later installed, or NDS eDirectoryTM 8.34.
- Ensure that you have installed the Management Utilities when installing NDS on Windows NT/2000. The Management Utilities share the existing NDS default directory as SYS. To install Workstation Inventory, this SYS share directory should exist.
- You must log in to the Windows NT/2000 server as an administrator or with administrator rights.
- You must run the installation program from a Windows NT or a Windows 2000 server or workstation. The installation program assigns rights to the scan directory (\SCANDIR) and loads Sybase* and Service Manager as services.
- If you have configured the Inventory server that is a Windows NT/2000 server and there are Windows 95/98 workstations that will send their scan data to that Windows NT/2000 server, you must do the following for the scanners to collect data:
If there are NDS users who are also Windows NT/2000 domain users, ensure that the users logged in are valid users of the Windows NT/2000 domain in the existing share created by ZfD. If there are users logged in to a different domain, ensure that the users are trusted users of the domain in the existing share created by ZfD. If there are NDS users who are not users of any Windows NT/2000 domain, ensure that the users do not log in to NDS during workstation startup. However, these users can log in to NDS later.

Inventory database server |
Database requirements: Hard disk requirements: - Recommended minimum hard disk space on a lowest level server with 10,000 workstations is 1 GB.
- The minimum hard disk space on the topmost level server (Root Server) is 20 GB.
- Depending on the number of workstations attached, the hard disk size may vary from 1 GB to 20 GB.
RAM requirements: - Recommended minimum memory on the database is 256 MB with minimum cache size of 32 MB. 512 MB or higher is recommended at the Root Server level with a cache size of 256 MB.
ZfD Inventory database files should not be installed on an NFS-mounted volume of a NetWare server. If you want to install the Inventory database on a different version of Oracle, the Inventory database schema should be regenerated. Contact Novell® Technical ServicesSM for more information. |
