2.2.2 64-Bit NCP Server

Selecting NCP Server when using
OES 2 SP2 64-bit media, automatically installs 64-bit NCP
OES 2 SP2 32-bit media installs 32-bit NCP server.

2.2.3 Matching Software with Server Hardware

Make sure that you understand which software can be installed on which server hardware.
64-Bit Server Hardware: Supports either the 32-bit versions of OES and SLES or the 64-bit
versions of OES and SLES.
32-Bit Server Hardware: Supports only the 32-bit versions of OES and SLES.

2.2.4 Don't Mix 32-Bit and 64-Bit OES and SLES

The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of OES and SLES are not compatible with each other. In other words,
you cannot install 32-bit OES with 64-bit SLES on the same server hardware, and the reverse is also
true.
2.3 Meeting All Server Software and Hardware
Requirements
Before installing OES 2 SP2, ensure that your system meets the following requirements.
Section 2.3.1, "Server Software," on page 16
Section 2.3.2, "Server Hardware," on page 17

2.3.1 Server Software

As part of the OES 2 SP2 installation, you install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3.
IMPORTANT: OES 2 SP2 services were developed and tested on a default SLES 10 SP3 server
base.
As you install OES 2 SP2, do not change any of the SLES 10 Base Technologies package selections,
such as Java* support. Doing so can cause various problems, such as the installation failing or one or
more OES 2 SP2 services not working properly.
If you are installing on an existing SLES 10 SP3 server, be sure to verify that all of the default SLES
10 SP3 components are installed before attempting to install OES 2 SP2 services.
