7.2 Disk and Memory Space: Basic System Disk
The given figures include a paging space of 160 MB of disk space:
• AIX itself requires a minimum of 32 megabytes of physical memory.
• AIX requires the initial paging space (/dev/hd6) to be a minimum of 64 megabytes in
size.
• Installing the AIX bundled software delivered on the CD-ROM requires about 600 MB of
disk space.
• Be aware that if the disk is completely full, you may not be able to increase the size of
the /tmp or /etc if they are too small. If this is the case, make a backup (smit mksysb),
and restore with the shrink option.
• A Full Install would require more than 3 GB for AIX 4.3.2.
