LeasePak Server

Platforms

LeasePak  supports both Oracle and Sybase DBMS servers, running on one of the following three platforms:

• HP
• Linux
• Sun

 

 

 HP

• Hardware: any HP 9000 800 series server

• Network card: ethernet, token ring, etc.

• Operating System: HP-UX 11.00, 64-bit environment with the following patches:
  • General Release Patches, November 1999 (ACE) XSWGR1100 B.11.00.47.08
  • HP-UX Hardware Enablement and Critical Patches, June 2000 XSWHWCR1100 B.11.00.49.3

• DBMS Server: one of the following:

Oracle: Coming soon.

Sybase: Adaptive Server Enterprise version 12.0.0.2 runtime license, 64 bit, with the following patch:  SWR 9310, 64 bit

• LeasePak Server Software: LeasePak version  for HP

• Additional Software: Sector7 version 3.1.7 runtime license (provided with the LeasePak server software)

MSI recommends that the server have a local CD-ROM drive for installing the LeasePak server software. Using a drive accessible over a network may convert portions of the various installation directory paths to lowercase, which will cause the installation to fail.

LeasePak does not support the HP-UX trusted (shadow password) system.

 

 

 Linux

• Hardware: any Intel x86 computer with minimum 512 MB RAM (1024 MB recommended)

• Network card: ethernet, token ring, etc.

• Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 or higher. For LeasePak installation, a minimal operating system installation with the "Network" package is sufficient

• DBMS Server: one of the following:

Oracle: Coming soon.

Sybase: Adaptive Server Enterprise version 12.5.0.3 (EBF 10696)

• LeasePak Server Software: LeasePak version  for Linux

• Additional Software: Sector7 version 3.1.8 runtime license (provided with the LeasePak server software)

MSI recommends that the server have a local CD-ROM drive for installing the LeasePak server software. Using a drive accessible over a network may convert portions of the various installation directory paths to lowercase, which will cause the installation to fail.

 

 

 Sun

• Hardware: either the Sun Enterprise 450 or higher (for large scale installations) or the Sun Fire V120 (for small scale installations)

• Network card: ethernet, token ring, etc.

• Operating System: Sun Solaris 8, 64-bit environment with the following patch cluster:
  • 8_recommended.zip, available from ftp://sunsolve.sun.com/pub/patches

• DBMS Server: one of the following:

Oracle: Coming soon.

Sybase: Adaptive Server Enterprise version 12.0.0.1 runtime license, 64 bit, with the following patch:  SWR 9265 ESD 3, 64 bit

• LeasePak Server Software: LeasePak version  for Sun

• Additional Software: Sector7 version 3.1.6 runtime license (provided with the LeasePak server software)

MSI recommends that the server have a local CD-ROM drive for installing the LeasePak server software. Using a drive accessible over a network may convert portions of the various installation directory paths to lowercase, which will cause the installation to fail.

 

 

Disk Space

These are the minimum disk space requirements for the LeasePak server on all platforms:

• 1400 MB for LeasePak server program files

• 300 MB for Sector7 program files

• 200 MB in the /home partition (or higher for large numbers of LeasePak users)

• 1200 MB in the /tmp partition (or higher depending on needs)

• 40 MB in the swap partition for each concurrent LeasePak (lpadriver.exe) connection, minimum calculation of physical memory * 3

• HP: note the size of the swap partition--you will need this information to configure the swapchunks kernel parameter.

• DBMS Disk Space Requirements:

Oracle: Coming soon.

Sybase: approximately 2.4 GB for the following partitions:  600 MB for program files  32 MB for master database  100 MB for sybsystemprocs database  300 MB for tempdb database    1024 MB for LeasePak database, data partition  350 MB for LeasePak database, log partition  60 KB (approximate) for each lease in LeasePak

 

Terminal Emulation

Sector7 DCL commands (job and print queue management), as well as lease/util utilities, all require Sector7 terminal emulation, which includes emulation of the following terminal types:

Type	Example
VT1xx	DEC VT100
VT2xx	DEC VT200
VT3xx	DEC VT300
VT4xx	DEC VT400
ANSI	SCO ANSO Console
AT386	Unix 5.4 Console
WY60	Wyse 60
XTERM	X Terminals

MSI recommends terminal emulators capable of displaying 132 columns for best results and prefers the use of VT type terminals. Set the TERM environment variable to one of the above terminal types before using Sector7 DCL commands or lease/util utilities. Use echo $TERM to verify the terminal type.

 Sun: on most telnet sessions, the default terminal emulator is sun.

 

Sever Verification

If you need MSI to verify your server platform and configuration, you must allow us to connect to your server. This can be through either a modem or internet connection. For internet connections, we must have access through your firewall (if any).
