On the IBM Aspera Shares machine:
- Linux 64-bit: RedHat 6 & 7, CentOS 6 & 7, with kernel 2.4 or
higher and libc version GLIB 2.3.4 or higher
- Shares package and license file
Shares includes an Nginx web server listening on port 80 and
443. For best results, Aspera recommends using a machine that does not run a web server. If
you are using a web server, keep port 80 or 443 open, configure either that server or the
Nginx server to use different ports. If you are installing an IBM Aspera Enterprise Server and Shares on the same host and
configure a firewall, close all ports that are not required. For details see the firewall
configuration section of the IBM Aspera
Enterprise Server documentation.
On node machines:
The term
node refers to any machine
installed with an Aspera transfer application, such as
IBM Aspera Enterprise Server.
Each node machine must meet the following requirements.
- Install the latest version of Enterprise Server. If older versions of these products are
already installed and running on the system, upgrade to the latest version before setting
up the node server. For information on installing or upgrading these products, see http://downloads.asperasoft.com/en/documentation/1.
- Include a valid Connect Server license file.
- Identify a directory to use for sharing data.
On all machines (Shares and nodes):
