Disk space requirements

Disk space
CDC Replication source system:
  • 100 GB—Default value for the Staging Store Disk Quota for each instance of CDC Replication. Use the IBM® Data Replication configuration tool to configure disk space for this quota.
  • 5 GB—For installation files, data queues, and log files.
  • Global disk quota—Disk space is required on your source system for this quota which is used to store in-scope change data that has not been committed in your database. The amount of disk space required is determined by your replication environment and the workload of your source database. To improve performance, CDC Replication will only persist LOB data to disk if RAM is not available. Use the mirror_global_disk_quota_gb system parameter to configure the amount of disk space used by this quota.
CDC Replication target system:
  • 5 GB—For installation files, data queues, and log files.
  • Global disk quota—Disk space is required on your target system for this quota which is used to store LOB data received from your CDC Replication source system. The amount of disk space required is determined by your replication environment and the amount of LOB data you are replicating. The minimum value is 1 GB. To improve performance, CDC Replication will only persist LOB data to disk if RAM is not available on your target system. Use the mirror_global_disk_quota_gb system parameter to configure the amount of disk space used by this quota.
