The minimum amount of RAM and available hard disk space required to run StorNext SNFS and SNSM are presented in Table 2. Because support files (such as database and journal files) are stored on the MDC, the amount of local disk space that is required increases with the number of data files stored on StorNext file systems.
If necessary, upgrade the RAM and local disk storage in the MDC to meet the minimum requirements before installing StorNext.
