Database Storage Constraints
Because of SPECTRUM’s database storage requirements, there are
limitations on the size of ECM configurations and templates and the number
of devices to which you should load a configuration.
When you work with ECM, do not exceed the maximums indicated below.
ECM displays an error message if you try to save a configuration or template
that is too large or if you try to capture a configuration that is too large. (At
present ECM does not indicate whether it is the size of the host configuration
or the number of attributes that exceeds the limits.)
ECM does not display any error message if you load a configuration to more
than 1,000 devices. It will perform the load but saves the load results for only
the first 1,000 devices.
Item Maximum Comments
Template Size 31,995 bytes
or
6000 attributes
(whichever
comes first)
The largest template that you
create probably will not exceed the
size or number of attributes
allowed.
Configuration
Size
159,975 bytes
or
10,000
attributes
(whichever
comes first)
If you capture a configuration from
a device with attributes that have
many instance IDs, the size of the
configuration could possibly exceed
the limits. In this case, divide the
large configuration into two or three
smaller configurations.
Cisco Host
Configuration
Size 159,975 bytes
On rare occasions the size of the
host configuration could exceed the
limits. On these occasions, ECM
will not capture the host
configuration.
Number of
Devices Loaded
per
Configuration 1,000
Do not load more than 1,000 devices
during one load operation because
ECM cannot record the load results
of more than 1,000 devices. (ECM
can actually load more than 1,000
devices but cannot save the load
results of more than 1,000 devices.)
