Package size requirements

Most of the KSYS software is installed in the /opt file system. However, the KSYS creates multiple log files and trace files as part of first failure data capture (FFDC) information. The minimum disk space that is required for various file systems and directories are listed in the following table.

Note: The administrator must monitor and maintain the space required for the pre-installation and post-installation requirements.
Pre-installation or update
