Migrating to OS/2 Warp Server for e-business

1.4 Prerequisites

The previous sections provided information on the history of OS/2 Warp Server and also some of the enhancements that have been included into OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. The following sections list the hardware and software prerequisites for OS/2 Warp Server for e-business.

1.4.1 Hardware

This section lists the minimum hardware requirements for OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. As you know, your production environment may require significantly more resource than listed here, but the minimum requirements are as follows:

CPU: Intel Pentium 133 MHz or equivalent
Memory: 64 MB
Hard Disk: 120 MB of available space for the base operating system or 200 MB for the base operating system and all default components (your actual number will vary based on the application selections).
Display: VGA support of 640x480 with 16 color support.
Network adapter: An adapter with drivers that support the NDIS, Version 2.01 specification, OS/2-compatible.
CD-ROM: An IDE or SCSI-based CD-ROM with OS/2 Warp driver support.
Mouse: An IBM-compatible mouse.

If OS/2 Warp Server for e-business is being installed on an SMP system, that system should support the Intel Multiprocessor specification, Version 1.4 or 1.1. Or, it must provide platform-specific drivers for OS/2 Warp Server.

1.4.2 Software

IBM has tested migrations from OS/2 Warp Server for e-business to OS/2 LAN Server, Version 4 and OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4, and there were no specific FixPak requirements found. In the scenarios for this document, we make extensive use of REXX procedures and the OS/2 LAN Server REXX Utility, which does have a FixPak requirement. See 2.2.8 Does Your Software Meet the Requirements for Migration? for more details.
