A minimum of 650MB of available hard disk space:

  • 500MB for the Replication Server software, supporting files, and log files.

  • 50MB for the RSM Server.

  • An additional 20MB for each Replication Server disk partition. The disk partition may be on a different disk than your Sybase software.

  • One of the following:

    • Disk space for your Adaptive Server Enterprise database, which will serve as your Replication Server System Database (RSSD) if you are not using the Embedded RSSD. See your Adaptive Server Enterprise documentation for system requirements.

    • 80MB for your Adaptive Server Anywhere database, which will serve as your Embedded Replication Server System Database (ERSSD). The database directory, transaction log directory, and backup directory that make up the 80MB should each reside on different disks.

  • Windows 2000 or 2003 – 20MB for Sybase Central and the Replication Server plug-in for Sybase Central.

More disk space may be required, depending on your replication system application.
