Memory

IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor requires quite a bit of memory to run. Factors involved in knowing how much memory is required include, but are not limited to:

• The number and types of servers being monitored

• The number of Rules and SLCs

• The configuration setting value for simultaneousCdPollers

• The batch size specified for ICC database table operations

It is beyond the scope of this document to tell you how to compute the exact amount of memory you’ll need to run IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor, but typically, the more that you can allocate to it the better and don’t try anything less than 6GB for IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor, which means no less than having 8GB for the server IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor is installed on. IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor has no known memory leaks so if you find your IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor installation crashing due to Out of Memory errors, allocate more and restart it.
