Storage space

When you initially configure an IBM® Content Manager OnDemand system, you calculate the total amount of disk, cloud, disk pool, optical, and tape storage required to hold the Content Manager OnDemand database, database log files and reports. You also need to plan for the temporary space needed by Content Manager OnDemand programs. The amount of storage space that you need on your system is usually a factor of how much data that you plan to store in Content Manager OnDemand, how long you need Content Manager OnDemand to maintain the data, the compression ratio that you can expect to achieve on the report data, and the number of copies of reports that you need the system to maintain. If you plan to index your reports on the Content Manager OnDemand server, then you must allocate temporary space for the data indexing program. Temporary space is also required for the data loading program.

The IBM Content Manager OnDemand for i Common Server: Planning and Installation Guide provides information that can help you calculate your storage requirements.
