17.2.3 Planning Your File Services
1 For the file services you plan to install, compute the total additional RAM required (above the
basic system requirement).
NCP: There are no additional RAM requirements.
NetStorage: There are no additional RAM requirements.
Novell AFP: There are no additional RAM requirements.
Novell CIFS: There are no additional RAM requirements.
Novell iFolder 3.8: Suggestions for calculating the additional RAM you need are
contained in
Guide.
Samba: There are no additional RAM requirements.
2 Record the additional required RAM in your planning notes.
3 For the file services you plan to install, compute the total additional disk space required (above
the basic system requirement).
NCP: Allocate enough disk space to meet your users' file storage needs. On Linux, this
space must exist on partitions you have designated as NCP volumes. On NetWare, all
volumes are accessible through NCP.
NetStorage: There are no disk space requirements because NetStorage provides access
only to other file storage services.
Novell AFP: Allocate enough disk space for the partition containing the /home directories
to meet your users' file storage needs.
Novell CIFS: Allocate enough disk space for the partition containing the /home
directories to meet your users' file storage needs.
Novell iFolder 3.8: Suggestions for calculating the additional disk space you need are
contained in
Guide.
Samba: Allocate enough disk space for the partition containing the /home directories to
meet your users' file storage needs.
4 Record the additional required disk space in your planning notes.
5 For the file services you plan to install, refer to the information in the OES 2 installation guides
indicated in the following table and note your planning choices on your planning sheet.
