Single-Server Hardware Requirements
The single server hardware guidelines provide suggested sizing for your OpenManage Network
Manager system (Table 3-1).
CAUTION:
These hardware requirements assume you have a host dedicated to only the OpenManage Network
Manager application. Other applications may compete for ports or other resources and can impair the
system’s performance.
When estimating the size of a deployment, it is important to understand the applications
configurations in the target environment. For example, the most resource-intensive, demanding
applications are Traffic Flow Analyzer (TFA), Event Management, and Performance Monitoring.
The
minimum hardware required
is 8-GB RAM, dual core CPU (2.8-GHz or better), 200-GB
10,000-RPM disk, which supports:
• Standalone single-server installations with
minimal
use of high-resource demanding
applications
• Distributed installation of a single component server, such as Application server only,
Mediation server only, Database server only, or Web server only.
The
minimum hardware recommended
is 10-GB RAM, four-core or more CPU (2.8-GHz or
better), 400-GB 10,000-RPM disk, which supports:
•Standalone
If the network you manage exceeds these parameters, or your system monitors more devices than
your hardware can handle, consult your sales representative about upgrading to a more robust or
multi-server OpenManage Network Manager version.
