MIM Server Platform Requirements*
 

 

MIM Servers must meet the following requirements:

  • Multi Core x86 64bit CPUs Intel/AMD running on SUN/HP/DELL/IBM hardware
  • Swap is 2 x RAM
  • Internet connection initiated by the MIM Server for data update delivery using https (tcp8443) to ftp.lim.com (12.43.226.2)
  • SMTP mail relay available to send email to limupdates@lim.com for MIM Server monitoring
  • A dedicated MIM Disk partition sized according to the table below - cannot be NFS
  • Three DBA accounts set up for a Reader, Writer and a Test MIM Server
  • DVD for database distributions
  • System Backup Procedures in place
  • MIM Servers should run on dedicated systems

MIM Server Minimum Operating System Requirements - 64bit

  • Solaris 10 update 3/4 x86 64bit (preferred OS to take advantage of ZFS, Snaps and Zones)
  • Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 update 3/4  64bit
  • Any other OS voids MIM Server Support
  • Virtual servers, zones, etc - LIM provides support for the MIM Server in these environments provided the minimum requirements above are met and the virtualization software is transparent
