System requirements
Memory requirements
Table 3 summarizes the minimum recommended system memory requirements for running DCFM plus SMI Agent
on Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems. Table 4 summarizes the minimum recommended system memory
requirements for running SMI Agent only on Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems.
NOTE
These requirements are only applicable when no other applications are running on DCFM.
NOTE
Paging space should be equal to or exceed the physical memory size.
Disc space requirements
Table 5 summarizes the minimum recommended disk space requirements for running DCFM on Windows, Linux,
and Solaris systems.
NOTE
The SMI Agent only edition uses the same requirements as the Enterprise edition.
NOTE
If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the DCFM server as the Upload Failure Data Capture location for
monitored switches, then additional disk space will be required. Each switch supportSave file is approximately 5 MB
and each Upload Failure Data Capture file is approximately 500 KB. To determine the disk space requirements,
multiply the frequency of scheduled supportSave files by 5 MB and the expected Upload Failure Data Capture files by
500 KB before the planned periodic purge activity.
