The software can be installed on a Cluster if clustering is supported by the above-mentioned operating systems.
For information on supported cluster types, see Clustering - Support.

95 MB minimum of hard disk space for software 50 MB of additional hard disk space for log file growth 10 MB of temp space required for install or upgrade (where the temp folder resides) |
Memory |
| 64 MB RAM per stream/drive minimum required beyond the requirements of the operating system and running applications |
Swap space = 2*RAM size |
Solaris Zones/Containers SupportData Protection of data residing on global and non-global zones is supported.For a comprehensive list of supported components, see Unix Virtualization. |
AIX LPAR/WPAR SupportData protection on Logical Partitioning (LPAR) and Workload Partitioning (WPAR) is supported. |

Network Interface Card |
Miscellaneous |
The File System iDataAgent will be automatically installed during installation of this software, if it is not already installed. For System Requirements and install information specific to the File System iDataAgents, refer to: |
NetworkTCP/IP Services configured on the computer. |
| On Solaris computers, the operating system must have been installed with at least the user level software option selected. |
Supported Libraries for CentOS v5.7 (or higher)You should use the latest library versions for CentOS 5.7 (or higher) as the library provided by Calypso may not be the latest. Informix programs may require the latest library versions. If not used, the Informix instance configuration will fail with errors such as showing the server status as UNKNOWN.To use the latest libraries, rename the libgcc_s.so.1 library located in the Software_Installation_Directory>/Base folder to a different name. This will allow Informix programs to load libraries available from the system. |
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
