Determining RAM and Disk Space Requirements
Aprisma proposes RAM and Disk Space Requirements for each of the
platforms included in this Software Release Notice as suggested minimum.
However, your enterprise environment may require more RAM and disk
space that exceeds the suggested minimum requirements.
If SPECTRUM does not run adequately in your environment, consider the
following questions:
• Is the server’s swap space sufficiently set?
• Does your server use a lot of Virtual Memory? If so, allocate more swap
space.
• Does your server have enough disk space left over to run SPECTRUM?
• Does your network have a lot of models for SPECTRUM to manage?
• Does your database have a lot of landscapes for SPECTRUM to
manage?
• Are many applications associated with your VNM?
If your environment has these characteristics, you should consider
adding an additional SpectroSERVER and/or installing more RAM.
Note:
Note:
For platforms with an xdm-config file, the terminate Server entry
should be set to “True.” This helps control the size of the Xserver
process by restarting it each time the user logs out of the
SpectroGRAPH machine.

Note:
For users who intend to employ the SPECTRUM Level 2 Toolkits,
a C++ compiler is required. Refer to the Level 2 Toolkit Software
Release Notice (SRN) for C++ compiler version information.
