Disk storage requirements



To run Netware on your server’s disk drive you need at least 50 MB. However, if you plan on installing all of the Netware files (including optional files, such as client software, online documentation, and OS/2 utilities) you will need at least 100 MB. An existing Netware 3.1xserver needs to have approximately 40 MB free to perform the upgrade to Netware.

Warning
These are minimum disk space requirements. You should always have at least 50 MB more than you need, because running of disk space can cause your network to go down, and you might lose data.

Memory requirements

Novell recommended 8 MB as the minimum amount of Ram in a Netware server. However, the Netware operating system itself uses about 7 MB. This doesn’t leave much room for applications or users. A Netware server with only 8 MB will be painfully slow, unless your network is very small (five users or less). A more comfortable minimum is 12 MB. If your network has 20 or more users, you will probably need at least 16 MB.

Note
The amount of memory your server needs will depend on the number of users, disk storage, and types of applications used.
