[Benchmarking] ESRI Participation

[Satish Sankaran]

Hi Mike,

#2)  I believe we should be able to handle that.

#5) Yingqi Tang  ,  Satish Sankaran   ( These two for now would be good)

#8)  ArcGIS Server can be installed on the latest update (5.3).
The System Requirements page  (http://wikis.esri.com/wiki/display/ag93bsr/ArcGIS+Server+Operating+System+Requirements+and+Limitations#ArcGISServerOperatingSystemRequirementsandLimitations-Linux
) also lists out specific (32-bit) packages that need to be installed on the RHEL 5 machine prior to installing ArcGIS Server.  

Let me know if this info is sufficient for the OS installation.

Thanks.

Satish

Satish, 

2). We'll take care of the OS install and the Oracle install. If you want to
handle the SDE install and the ArcGIS Server install, that would be great.

5). if you send me the user names you want, I'll create them and provide
logins to the testing machines.

8). Do you have specifics (beyond RHEL 5) for the OS?

Mike
