Determining RAM and Disk Space Requirements

Aprisma proposes RAM and Disk Space Requirements for each of the

platforms included in these Software Release Notes as being the minimum

requirements. However, your enterprise environment may require more

RAM and disk space that exceeds the 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:

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 Notes (SRN) for C++ compiler version information.
