
System Memory—At a minimum, you should have 512 MB of memory on each server. Ideally,
you should have 1 GB.

Disk Usage—The amount of disk space required for the Storage Mirroring program files is
approximately 45 MB. About 5 MB will be located on your
/(root)
partition, and the remainder
will be on your
/usr
partition. You will need to verify that you have additional disk space for
Storage Mirroring queuing, logging, and so on. Additionally, on a target server, you need sufficient
disk space to store the replicated data from all connected sources, allowing additional space for
growth.

Protocols—TCP/IP

Name resolution—Your servers must have name resolution using hosts files entries, DNS,
and/or DHCP. For details on configuring name resolution by any of these methods, see your Linux
documentation or online Linux resources.

NOTE: Because Storage Mirroring has operating system dependent files, if you are upgrading
your operating system (to a new major version, not a service pack) and have Storage
Mirroring installed, you must remove Storage Mirroring prior to the operating system
upgrade. Uninstall Storage Mirroring, perform the operating system upgrade, and
then reinstall Storage Mirroring.
