K2 blackpearl Product Documentation: Installation and Configuration Guide
Prerequisites by Role

Prerequisites by Role

There are several roles that servers play in a K2 Environment. One server may play multiple roles, or many servers may be clustered together to perform a single role. The K2 Installer will determine which platform version is being used and will install K2 blackpearl components accordingly. For all intents and purposes, the requirements for installing a 64-bit installation are identical to its 32-bit counterpart.

The following sections will describe the prerequisites for each role listed below:
