System Requirements - 1-Touch

AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows  

Operating System

The following are the requirements for 1-Touch on Solaris:

Server

Solaris 9 64-bit
Solaris 9 4/04 64-bit
Solaris 9 4/04 32-bit
Solaris 9 32-bit
Solaris 8 [Extended Support]
Solaris 10.x 64-bit

Client

Solaris 9 64-bit
Solaris 9 4/04 64-bit
Solaris 9 4/04 32-bit
Solaris 9 32-bit
Solaris 8 [Extended Support]
Solaris 10.x 64-bit

The x64 processor is supported for Solaris 10.x 64-bit operating system. All other operating systems support Sun Sparc5 or higher recommended processors.

Hard Drive

The 1-Touch Server and client requires 500 MB of disk space.

Memory

1 GB RAM minimum required; 2 GB RAM recommended.

Processor

Sparc5 or higher recommended
x64

Supported File Systems and Volume Manager types

  • VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 5.0 or higher (unencapsulated root volume only)
  • Solaris Volume Manager (svm)
  • UNIX File System (UFS)
  • VERITAS File System (VxFS)
  • Zettabyte File System (ZFS)

Notes

Server

  • The 1-Touch Server must be a dedicated Solaris machine running the Jump Start server environment.
  • For 1-Touch Server, use any Solaris system that is configured as a JumpStart server and has the required networking services, which include RARP, bootp, and tftp. Configure the 1-Touch server using the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide (see, http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/802-5740). It is recommended that you set the primary mirror as the boot device for restores to succeed.
  • The Solaris JumpStart server version (including updates) should be greater than or equal to the version of the Solaris client whose data is targeted for recovery. A Solaris JumpStart server can recover data from a Solaris client whose version is equal to or less than the server version. For example, a Solaris 10 JumpStart server can recover data from Solaris 10 client, Solaris 9 client, etc. Similarly, a Solaris 9 JumpStart server cannot recover data from Solaris 10 client, but it can recover data from Solaris 9 client, Solaris 8 client, etc.
  • If Solaris 10 Update 6 or above jumpstart server is used as 1-touch server, please make sure that it has /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive. It is required for unpacking and repacking Solaris miniroot in jumpstart server.
  • Ensure that the permissions setting for an NFS share on the JumpStart server is "ro" (read-only)
  • Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 boot image versions are supported.

Client

  • This feature is not supported when bootable partitions are on the disk arrays (snapable disk).
  • iSCSI root is supported for 1-Touch.
  • Solaris local zones are not supported for 1-Touch backups.
  • Link aggregation is not supported for 1-Touch backups.
  • I/O Multipathing(MPxIO) is not supported for root file system recovery.

DISCLAIMER

Minor revisions and/or service packs that are released by application and operating system vendors are supported by our software but may not be individually listed in our System Requirements. We will provide information on any known caveat for the revisions and/or service packs. In some cases, these revisions and/or service packs affect the working of our software. Changes to the behavior of our software resulting from an application or operating system revision/service pack may be beyond our control. The older releases of our software may not support the platforms supported in the current release. However, we will make every effort to correct the behavior in the current or future releases when necessary. Please contact your Software Provider for any problem with a specific application or operating system.

Additional considerations regarding minimum requirements and End of Life policies from application and operating system vendors are also applicable
