In addition to the recommended patches and updates listed here, you should also obtain all of Novell’s recommended patches for the version of NetWare that you are running. These updates will allow Unoverica Message Transport and other services to run more reliably. A list of Novell’s recommended system updates is available at http://support.novell.com/search/patlst.htm.

NOTE: Some of these patches may require that you apply other system updates or patches prior to installing the ones listed here. Refer to the documentation for these patches for information about any mandatory prerequisite updates.

NOTE: Some of the required modifications listed in this chapter will require that you restart the server. Do not begin the installation process or apply any system updates until you are able to restart the server without interrupting user sessions or critical system functions.

WARNING: If the NetWare server you wish to use for Unoverica Message Transport does not meet the minimum system requirements specified in this chapter, you will encounter problems during the installation or operation of Unoverica Message Transport. These problems may be minor annoyances, a lack of expected functionality (such as mail messages not getting delivered successfully), or total system failure resulting in lost data.

STEP: To continue to the next step in the verification process, go to section 1.2.5 Optimizing the Server.
