Planning for capacity

The library server workstation is primarily a database machine. It builds search requests and transmits the results of searches to the client. In addition to reserving disk space for prerequisite software and the Content Manager OnDemand program files, you must allocate storage for the database as it grows.

Physically separating program directories, the database, and log file directories will improve performance and the time it takes to recover from problems.

Library server machines have high input/output workloads, and they need a powerful processor to accommodate concurrent requests from multiple users. Because the database lies at the core of the library server, good database administration is crucial to the efficient operation of the Content Manager OnDemand system.
