# System Requirements

This section describes the software and hardware requirements to run IDOL.

## Basic Requirements

- To install IDOL services on Microsoft Windows operating systems, you must run the IDOL Server installer as a user with administrative privileges.

  Note: You do not require special privileges to run the IDOL Server installer on Linux or Solaris operating systems, or to run IDOL Server on any platform.

- You cannot run IDOL with restricted file system permissions (for example: disk quotas, file handle limits or memory limits).

- Your file system must permit file locking (for example, you cannot run IDOL on an NFS mount).

- Your network must support TCP/IP.

- If you are running anti-virus software on the machine hosting IDOL server, ensure it does not monitor the IDOL Server directories, which can have a serious impact on IDOL Server performance.

  In addition some advanced anti-virus software can scan the network and might block some IDOL traffic, which can cause errors. Where possible, exempt the IDOL processes from this kind of network traffic analysis.

## Supported Platforms

IDOL runs on a variety of Windows and UNIX platforms. For details of supported platforms, refer to the IDOL 11.2 Release Notes.

## Recommended Minimum Hardware Specifications

HPE recommends the following minimum hardware specifications for IDOL Server.

- a dedicated SCSI disk

- 4 GB RAM

- 100 GB Disk

- a minimum of 2 dedicated CPU - Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron or above
