Disk space requirements
NOTE
It is recommended that you add an additional 40 GB of disk space for the default temporary
directory.
Table 10 summarizes the minimum disk space requirements for running Network Advisor SAN with
SMI Agent on Windows and Linux systems.
Table 11 summarizes the minimum disk space requirements for running SMI Agent only on
Windows and Linux systems.
NOTE
If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the Network Advisor 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.
Browser requirements
The launch of Network Advisor and the launch of Element Manager (Web Tools) from the
application are supported from the following browsers with a Java plug-in:
• Browsers
- Windows Internet Explorer under Windows
- Firefox under Windows or Linux
• Java Plug-ins
- Oracle JRE 1.7.0 update 09 for Network Advisor
