2.3.1 IPV6 Support

The POA, the MTA, the Internet Agent, and the Monitor Agent support the IPV6 protocol when it is
available on the server. If it is available, the agent detects it and supports IPV6 by default, along with
IPV4. The WebAccess Agent and its accompanying Viewer Agent do not support IPV6.
As you configure your GroupWise system and specify the network address of an IPV6 server, you
must specify its DNS hostname. IP Address fields in ConsoleOne do not accommodate IPV6
address format.
IPV6 support is available on Linux and Windows. IPV6 support is not currently available on
NetWare.

2.3.2 Clustering Support

described in the
"Novell Cluster Services on

If you are using one of these clustering environments, follow the installation instructions in the
GroupWise 7 Interoperability Guide, rather than the installation instructions in this guide.

2.3.3 Virtual Machine Support

You can install components of your GroupWise system in virtual environments where a software
program enables one physical server to function as if it were two or more physical servers. The
following virtualization software is supported:
VMware* GSX Server*, an enterprise-class virtual infrastructure for x86-based servers
VMware ESX Server*, a data center-class virtual infrastructure for mission-critical
environments

2.3.4 Citrix Support

Any version of the GroupWise client runs successfully on any version of Citrix.

2.3.5 Linux File System Support

For best GroupWise performance on Linux, the Reiser file system is recommended. If you are
running OES Linux and need the feature-rich environment of the NSS file system, GroupWise is
also supported there.
