System Requirements
The following subsections list the hardware and software required for the basic
SPECTRUM Network Management package on each of the supported platforms.
SPECTRUM may be configured with more than one SpectroGRAPH. Suggested
Minimum and Recommended RAM, Disk Space and Processor requirements are
presented under Minimum Windows NT and Solaris Configurations section.
Amounts shown are in both megabytes and gigabytes.
In the listings of platform-specific system requirements in this section,
the following three definitions should be noted:
1 RAM is the amount of physical memory installed in the system. The
amount of RAM is reported by the console upon powerup.
2 Available Disk Space is the amount of space available after the OS
and all other applications have been loaded. A large database or event
and alarm log archive files requires additional space.
3 Swap Space is the amount of hard disk space allocated as additional
memory to be used once the existing RAM has been exhausted. Swap
Space is referred to as “Virtual Memory” in Windows NT.
Caution:
Caution:
The loading and operation of both SpectroSERVER and
SpectroGRAPH on the same physical workstations may not be
advisable due to the complexities of polling frequency, device
type, and number of devices within a network. It is impossible to
define all possible configurations, and therefore impossible to
determine the system requirements for all possible
configurations. Aprisma suggests the figures in this document as
an absolute minimum for installation and operation. Consult
your Field Engineer or SPECTRUM Support Representative for
assistance in determining the ideal configuration for your
network.
