# Chapter 3. Building the Test Environment

These procedures assume that you already have the four systems required to create the initial stable test environment, that they are connected together with either Ethernet or token ring cabling, and that each has an operational monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

This test environment should be isolated from other LAN segments. Although an isolated environment is not required, it is easier to troubleshoot problems in an isolated environment. In addition, network traffic from other systems on the network can sometimes interfere with your tests.

### Installation of Server systems

In setting up your PCM test environment, you need to install two server systems, one as the Domain Controller, the second as the Additional Server. For instructions on how to install and configure the domain and server systems in the PCM testing environment, refer to the following Appendix's:

- For OS/2 Warp Server for e-business and Convenience Package for OS/2 Warp Server for e-business, refer to: Appendix A, "Install and Configure OS/2 Warp Server for e-business or Convenience Package for OS/2 Warp Server for e-business".

### Installation of Client systems.

In setting up your PCM test environment, you need to install two client systems, one as LAN Requester #1, the second as Remote Requester #2. For instructions on how to install and configure the client systems in the PCM testing environment, refer to the following Appendix's:

- For OS/2 Warp Version 4, refer to: Appendix B, "Install and Configure OS/2 Warp Version 4".

- For Convenience Package for OS/2 Warp Version 4, refer to: Appendix C, "Install and Configure Convenience Package for OS/2 Warp Version 4".
