Agent System Requirements

• 32-bit/x86 processor
• Any of the following server operating systems:
  • NetWare^® 4.2, NetWare 5.1, or NetWare 6.x, plus the latest Support Pack for your version of NetWare

    NOTE:  Domains and post offices can be located on NetWare 3.12 servers, although the agents cannot run there.

  • SUSE^® Linux Standard Server 8, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 ES, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS

    The X Window System and OpenMotif are required by the GUI GroupWise agent consoles. The agents can also run as daemons without user interfaces.

  • Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2003 Server, plus the latest Service Pack for your version of Windows
• Approximately 25 MB of free disk space (varies by platform)

• Adequate memory to ensure acceptable performance
  • Approximately 10 MB of free memory (minimum for the agents to start)
  • Substantially more free memory for the POA depending on the number of active users, as illustrated by the table below:

    Concurrent Users	Actual Memory Usage at Peak Time
    100 active users (100-250 users in post office)	50 MB
    250 active users (250-500 users in post office)	110 MB
    500 active users (500-1000 users in post office)	125 MB
    1000 active users (1000-2500 users in post office)	150 MB

    Although the Linux and Windows agent memory requirements differ slightly from the NetWare agents, you can use the figures provided for the NetWare agents to see what agent processes are most memory intensive. This can help you figure memory requirements for more complex configurations. See the following sections in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide:

    • "Estimating NetWare POA Memory Requirements" in "Post Office Agent"
    • "Estimating NetWare MTA Memory Requirements" in "Message Transfer Agent"
