Minimum Hardware Requirements

The c-treeACE Server for Novell is very efficient and operates well on Pentium 133 and later processors. The minimum RAM requirement for the c-treeACE Server for Novell is the RAM required by the Netware system plus 4MB RAM. 8MB of RAM, in addition to the RAM required by Netware, is recommended for c-treeACE Server for Novell installations configured for 128 CONNECTIONS and higher.

CONNECTIONS <Number of Connections>

The maximum number of connections to the c-treeACE Server. Typically, c-treeACE Servers are activated to support up to one of the following values for concurrent user connections: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024. However, your particular c-treeACE Server may be customized with a different value for connections. Specifying a number of users greater than the actual number of users needed results in inefficiencies (e.g., unused memory), so the goal is to keep this number as low as feasible on the system. The Activation Key flier displays the allowable number of users for your c-treeACE Server, as does the c-treeACE Server startup screen.

Default: Lower of 128 or activation limit

The minimum hard drive space required by the c-treeACE Server for Novell is:

The size of the c-treeACE Server executable
+ the amount specified by the LOG_SPACE keyword (10 MB default)
+ 1MB for c-tree Server status logs
+ 3.5MB for the pre-compiled c-tree Server utilities
+ the size of the data (.dat) and index (.idx) files

The NetWare 5 and 6 operating systems support files up to 4 GB using standard c-treeACE files. All other versions of NetWare support 2GB file sizes. All NetWare versions require segmented files to support files larger than these limits.
