Introduction 1 Introduction The Global Server Installation Guide explains how to install AVEVA Global Server, as supplied by AVEVA Solutions Ltd on a DVD, onto a workstation which is running under the Windows 2000 or later. 1.1 Hardware It is recommended that the Global daemon is installed on a separate file server. CPU RAM HDD Network 2 GHz Intel P4 (Dual core or dual processors recommended) 1 GB system memory 500 GB Ultra SCSI II HPL (10000+ rpm) (two or more 500 GB, SATA-300 RAID recommended) 100 Mb/sec LAN The above specification are recommended when running the Global daemon on a file server. For hardware requirements for client machines running the base product refer the relevant installation guide for that product. 1.2 Software and Configuration The Global daemon uses RPC, which is part of the standard Windows software, and so no additional software has to be installed. 1.3 AVEVA Security File You must have the correct AVEVA license file before you can use AVEVA Global Server. The file is controlled by the network security product called Flexman. The version required for AVEVA Global Server (or higher) is Flexman 4.1 (or higher). Refer to the Flexman 4.1 Installation and Configuration Guide for more information. Global now requires a licence for Hub and Satellites. At the hub location each project daemon will take out a GLOBAL licence entry. At each Satellite each project daemon will take out a GLOBALSAT licence. A project daemon at a Satellite may use a spare Hub licence (GLOBAL) if no satellite licence (GLOBALSAT) is available. 1:1
