In addition, there is a known OS kernel bug in scheduling threads in RHEL 6.0 that has been
fixed in RHEL 6.1; for this reason, Sybase recommends that you use 6.1.
Linux 64-bit x64 system memory requirements are:
MinimumRAM required for AdaptiveServer, with defaultstack size, packetsize, and user
log cache size 127 MB
Minimum RAM per additional user approximately 324KB
Default user stack size 128KB

3) Software & Installation

Downloaded the product from SPDC or SAP Service Marketplace, go to the directory where you
extracted the
installation image and start the installer:

Note : Before you can install a 64-bit Adaptive Server version 15.7 ESD #2 to a Red Hat
Enterprise
Linux 6.x x86_64, install the 32-bit GNU C Libraries package (glibc-2.xxx.xx.el6.i686.rpm).
Each operating system has a default maximum shared-memory segment. Configure your
operating system to allow the allocation of a shared-memory segment at least as large as the
maximum memory value.
