Chapter 1
Introduction
This document is intended to give an overview of the most important system
settings, preparations, and the order of the appropriate installation or upgrade
guides.
Important
If an update is intended, make sure the installed Livelink ECM – Archive
Server version is 9.6.1!
Only for Archive Server version 9.6.1, the update documents mentioned in
this document can be used.
If the already installed version is older than 9.6.1, please refer to the upgrade
documents in the Open Text Knowledge Center
(https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/open/15528627).
AR090701-IOV-EN-2 Open Text Archive and Storage Services 5

Chapter 2
Common installation topics
Global assumptions
• Most disks for Archive and Storage Services should be mirrored with RAID 1,
and there should be at least 3 independent disks. The secure operation of the
database requires 1 disk for the database and 2 separate disks for the online
REDO and offline REDO log files. Archive and Storage Services stores all
documents temporarily on hard disk. This disk should be protected by RAID 5
or RAID 1.
• The partition sizes listed below are minimal sizes. The recommended sizes are
dependant mainly on the archive size and the number of logical archives. Refer
to the partitioning recommendation given to you by Open Text.
Unwanted fragmentation of disk partitions

Some file systems tend to unwanted fragmentation of disk partitions. This may lead
to incorrect free space detection and an attempt to write data to the file system will
fail (“no space left on device”).
This problem can affect the following partitions:
• Archive and Storage Services:
Cache partitions and, in case of remote standby scenario, the replicated disk
buffer volumes
• Archive Cache Server:
Cache partitions
To avoid this problem, see the Knowledge Center
Memory recommendations
• The recommended amount of RAM per CPU is at least 1 GB. The following table
shows the relation between total RAM and SWAP or paging space in your
system:
RAM SWAP or paging space

1 GB to 2 GB 1.5 times RAM
> 2 GB and < 8 GB 1 times RAM

Chapter 2 Common installation topics
RAM SWAP or paging space

> 8 GB 0.75 times RAM
Access rights for directories and partitions (UNIX)

• For the following mount points, directories and partitions, the owners must be
user <archive-user> and group <archive-group>. Access permissions should be 755
(-rwxr-xr-x). See below in the partition table.
• For all Oracle directories, the owner must be user <oracle-user> and group <dba-
group>. In all cases, the access permissions should be 755 (-rwxr-xr-x).
• Some files will have root permissions like the jbd!

Chapter 4
Partitioning
The partitioning depends on the location of the database. Will the database reside on
the same server as Archive and Storage Services (classical, local) or will it reside on a
dedicated database server (remote DB scenario)? Furthermore, the kind of archive
media you will use (WORM/UDO or DVD/Storage Systems) plays a role.

Notes:
• In the cases 2 and 4, the customer provided database must match several
requirements, which are described in the appendixes of the following
installation guides:
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on UNIX/Linux
(AR090701-IASUO)
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on Windows with
Oracle (AR090701-IASWO)
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on Windows with MS
SQL (AR090701-IASWM)
You can find the guides in the Knowledge Center

Chapter 4 Partitioning
Moreover, it is possible to perform a new installation of Archive and

Storage Services and to use an existing database (with Open Text tables) of
an identical version (see “Case 5: New installation of Archive and Storage
Services and use of existing complete (with Archive Server tables) database
of an identical version” on page 21).
• Recommended disk partitioning
Each entry is a separate partition, which is to be used exclusively by
Archive and Storage Services. The disk sizes given here are minimum
requirements; the mount points are only a suggestion.
4.1 Case 1: Archive and Storage Services and

database on the same computer, database
created by Open Text
This is the classic installation scheme.
Partitions under Windows:
• Build your drives/disks as Basic Disks, not as dynamic ones.
• Create primary or extended (with logical) partitions.
For Oracle databases: recommended disk partitioning

The following table is for both UNIX and Windows. The mount points and path
names are given in UNIX style. For Windows, partitions with drive letters and
appropriate path names have to be used.

database on the same computer, database
created by customer
In this case, the database software has been installed and the customer has already
created the database. As a result, no consideration needs to be made for database
software and the database files. The database provided by the customer must meet
several requirements described in the appendixes of the following installation
guides:
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on UNIX/Linux (AR090701-
IASUO)
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on Windows with Oracle
(AR090701-IASWO)
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on Windows with MS SQL
(AR090701-IASWM)
Recommended disk partitioning

These settings are identical to the recommended disk partitioning of Case 1 (see
“Case 1: Archive and Storage Services and database on the same computer, database
created by Open Text” on page 14)

4.3 Case 3: Archive and Storage Services and database on different computers, database created by Open
Text

database on different computers, database
created by Open Text
In this case, the database is provided by Open Text, but is located on a different
computer than Archive and Storage Services.
It is mandatory that you install the database server and create the database first.
Failing to complete this step will result in an unsuccessful installation of Archive
and Storage Services, as a fully operative database is a prerequisite to the Archive
and Storage Services installation.

Section 4.1 on page 14) but without the partitions for database data, index, and
REDO log, respectively, transaction log files. This space is needed on the database
server. Instead of space for Database Server binaries, you will need only 200 MB for
the database client installation on the system partition of Archive and Storage
Services.
For Oracle database: recommended disk partitioning for Archive and Storage
Services database on a dedicated database server
The following table holds for both UNIX and Windows. The mount points and path
names are given in UNIX style. For Windows logical partitions with drive letters
and appropriate path names have to be used.

4.4 Case 4: Archive and Storage Services and database on different computers, database created by
customer
Note: If you want several Archive and Storage Services servers to share a
single database server with more than one database provided by Open Text,
please contact Open Text Customer Support before you install the database
server.

database on different computers, database
created by customer
This case is similar to case 3, but instead of providing the database server, you only
need to check the database provided by the customer to ensure it meets the
requirements in the appendixes of the following installation guides:
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on UNIX/Linux (AR090701-
IASUO)
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on Windows with Oracle
(AR090701-IASWO)
• Open Text Archive and Storage Services - Installation on Windows with MS SQL
(AR090701-IASWM)

Section 4.1 on page 14) but without the partitions for db data, db index, and REDO
log, respectively, transaction log files because the space is needed on the database
server. Instead of space for the Database Server binaries, you will need only 200 MB
for the database client installation on the system partition of Archive and Storage
Services.
4.5 Case 5: New installation of Archive and Storage

Services and use of existing complete (with
Archive Server tables) database of an identical
version
A precondition is that the (Archive and Storage Services) tables of the database to be
used have the identical version as the Archive and Storage Services to be installed.
If the database is on a different computer than Archive and Storage Services, the
partitioning is identical to case 3.
If the database is on the same computer as Archive and Storage Services, an Archive
and Storage Services instance must already have been installed on the computer
which is to be reinstalled. Please contact Open Text Customer Support before you

begin, as several files need to be moved or saved before uninstalling and reinstalling
Archive and Storage Services.

Chapter 5
Platform dependencies
This chapter describes the recommended operating system parameters for Archive
and Storage Services.
Since Oracle version 10g, Oracle itself checks the recommended OS parameters like
kernel parameters, recommended packages, and patch levels. All requirements of
Oracle can be found here:

If Archive and Storage Services needs other or special system parameters, they will
be listed here under the special chapter for the appropriate OS.
Caution
To avoid data loss due to power failure or other OS crashes, Open Text
strongly recommends the use of journaling file systems on all operating
systems.
5.1 AIX (IBM)

AIX 5.3 must have maintenance level 4 or higher.
Oracle validates and shows the recommended parameters, packages and OS patches
during the installation of Oracle itself. It is recommended to adjust your OS
parameters before this installation and just let Oracle check it again during
installation. To do that, run the validation tool from Oracle (Note: 334562.1):
