System requirements

Memory requirements

Table 3 summarizes the minimum recommended system memory requirements for running DCFM plus SMI Agent

on Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems. Table 4 summarizes the minimum recommended system memory

requirements for running SMI Agent only on Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems.

NOTE

These requirements are only applicable when no other applications are running on DCFM.

NOTE

Paging space should be equal to or exceed the physical memory size.

Disc space requirements

Table 5 summarizes the minimum recommended disk space requirements for running DCFM on Windows, Linux,

and Solaris systems.

NOTE

The SMI Agent only edition uses the same requirements as the Enterprise edition.

NOTE

If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the DCFM server as the Upload Failure Data Capture location for

monitored switches, then additional disk space will be required. 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.
