Disc space requirements
The following table summarizes the minimum recommended disc space requirements for running
DCFM on for Windows, Linux and Solaris systems.
NOTE
If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the DCFM server as the Upload Failure Data Capture
location for monitored switches, then additional disc 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 disc space requirement, 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.

supported from the following browsers with Java plug-in:
