Memory, host, and disk space requirements
Memory requirements are only applicable when there are no other applications running on the
Network Advisor server. Paging space should be equal to or exceed the physical memory size.
NOTE
To manage more than 9000 SAN ports or 200 IP devices, you must have a 16 core processor.
NOTE
To efficiently manage more than 9000 SAN ports or 200 IP devices, it is recommended to allocate
a minimum of 2 GB client memory and 6 GB server memory.
NOTE
If you use sFlow, it is recommended that you add an additional 100 GB of disk space.
NOTE
It is recommended that you add an additional 40 GB of disk space for the default temporary
directory.
NOTE
If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the Network Advisor server as the Upload Failure
Data Capture location for monitored switches, you must add additional disk space. Each switch
supportSave file is approximately 5 MB and each Upload Failure Data Capture file is approximately
500 KB. To determine the disk space requirements, multiply the frequency of scheduled
supportSave files by 5 MB and the expected Upload Failure Data Capture files by 500 KB before the
planned periodic purge activity.
Table 6 summarizes the memory, host, and disk space requirements for a remote client.
