Disk space requirements

To store Network Manager data, ensure you have the following minimum disk space available for your topology database:

  • 3 to 5 GB for Db2®.
  • 3 to 5 GB for Oracle.
Note: These figures are minimum values. The actual disk space required depends on the size of your network and the amount of data stored. The storage of performance data can require a large amount of disk space. If you are planning to store such large amounts of data, consider 50 GB for Network Manager-related disk space.

For a large network contained within a single domain you should have 5 GB for the topology data, and a total of 50 GB to cover storage of data as well. For more information about planning the Network Manager deployment for your network including considerations for size and domains, see Deployment of Network Manager.

Ensure that the server where you want to run the topology database meets the following disk requirements:

  • Three disks in RAID 1 configuration (more disks for RAID 5)
  • High speed SATA or SCSI disks
