DPM Server Operating System Prerequisites
Before installing DPM on the required operating systems listed in this section, note the following:
• DPM supports Standard and Enterprise Editions for all supported DPM operating systems.
• DPM supports 32-bit and x64-bit operating systems. DPM does not support ia64-bit operating
systems.
• There is a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) non-paged pool limitation on x86 32-bit
operating systems. If you are protecting more than 10 terabytes (TB) of data, the DPM server
must be running on a 64-bit operating system. In addition, because VSS non-paged pool
usage is based on the size of a single volume, we recommend that you do not protect a
single volume larger than 4 TB of data on 32-bit operating systems.
The following are the System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 operating system
requirements:
• Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later.
To download SP2 for Windows Server 2003, see Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=90633).
Caution
DPM is designed to run on a dedicated, single-purpose server that cannot be either a
domain controller or an application server.
• Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2.
• Windows Storage Server 2003 with SP2.
To obtain SP2 for Windows Storage Server 2003 or Windows Storage Server 2003 R2,
