Chapter 10: Installing the Wave Recording Archive Service
Wave Server Installation Guide
The archive server PC must meet the following requirements:
•
Operating system: The following operating systems can be used:
• Windows Server 2003, base release or higher
• Windows XP SP2 or higher
Note: Note that Windows XP is limited to supporting a maximum of 10
simultaneous connections by users running the Archived Recording Browser (for
example, users playing back recordings.)
Important: If your archive server PC currently uses or will use the Windows Firewall,
review the important information in Appendix E, “Configuring Wave ISM for the
Windows Firewall.”
•
Database server: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2. (See page 10-5 for
download and installation instructions.)
•
Memory: Enough memory to run Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition effectively
(at least 512 MB.)
•
Disk space: See below for more about the requirements for storing your archived
recordings in the archive folder. The archive folder can be located on the archive server
PC or on another PC in your network.
While not required, the following are recommended:
•
Backup: A tape backup unit or a DVD burner is recommended to save old recordings
•
RAID: Configure your archive server PC with RAID so that if a hard drive fails, you do
not lose your valuable recordings.
Archive folder requirements
The archive folder is an empty directory that you create in which to store your archived
recordings for access by Archived Recording Browser users.
Note the following:
• It is not recommended to create the archive folder on the Wave Server.
• It is preferable but not necessary to create the archive folder on the archive server PC.
