Before You Install

To use the SPS, the system where you plan to install it must have at least 256 MB of RAM. Other prerequisites differ based on the server system.

For detailed information, see the SPS Support Matrix at http://ca.com/support.

Note: Installation prerequisites pertain to the system on which you run the SPS, not the destination servers to which the SPS routes incoming requests.

The SPS installation consists of two tasks:

  1. Install the software.
  2. Run the configuration tool.

Note: Throughout the installation instructions, there are references to sps_home in directory paths. This variable represents the installation directory of the SPS.

During installation, you are prompted for specific information. We recommend having this information ready before you run the SPS installation.
