IMPORTANT NOTE: Not meeting minimum recommended patch requirements on the operating system that underlies Domino Server can cause serious system instability. Be sure to read the patch requirement documents in the Release Notes regarding the platforms you use. These platform-specific documents can be found in the Release Notes "Things you need to know" chapter.
Domino for AS/400 (iSeries) and S/390 (zSeries) information
For more information about the Domino for AS/400 (iSeries) and S/390 (zSeries) R5 server and system requirements, refer to the "AS/400 (iSeries) and S/390 (zSeries) information sources" Release Note.
Footnotes
1 SMP (Symmetrical Multiprocessing) support is for SMP-enabled versions of listed operating systems. For details on whether a version of an operating system supports SMP, check with the operating system vendor or with your Lotus representative.
2 Disk space requirements include estimated free disk space amounts for a functioning Domino system (that is, one or more mail databases and applications). The actual disk space needed to install the Domino files is lower than the minimum and recommended values.
3 Effective with 5.0.9, due to the withdrawal of support from vendors, Lotus no longer supports Banyan VINES, ISDN, or X.25.
4 Domino Clusters and Partitioned server configurations do not support the IPX/SPX protocol. At this time, Lotus does not plan to provide IPX/SPX network support for future releases of these features.
5 Starting with Release 5.0.4 Solaris 8 is the certified platform when running Domino in 64-bit mode. Please refer to the "Solaris for SPARC - platforms supported" Release Note for further details.
6 The Domino cache directory must reside on an HPFS file system. The cache directory is specified in the Notes Server document under the HTTP Server section.
7 Notes SPX and NetBIOS port driver (Novell NetBIOS) is not certified or supported on an OS/2 Warp server platform.
8 These are recommended levels of RAM. Microsoft increased the system requirements for Windows 2000 relative to Windows NT. Be sure to address these Windows 2000 specific requirements before installing or upgrading Notes and Domino.
