HP Insight Management 7.0 Support Matrix
Table 4 CMS disk space considerations
Disk space requirementSoftware component
Disk space is consumed by the storage of power history data for each supported
system. HP recommends allocating 12 MB per system per year of history.
Insight Control power management
For example, a total of 2000 power managed systems, monitored PDUs/PDRs,
and associated racks and data centers consumes approximately 24 GB of disk
space for one year of power history data.
This disk space is consumed on the Microsoft SQL database server.
The recommended disk space listed in Table 3 accounts for three OSs to copy.
If you want to copy more than three OSs, each additional OS needs approximately
6 GB of disk space.
Insight Control server deployment
Additional disk space is required for each workload to collect and preserve a
maximum of four years of data for use by Capacity Advisor:
HP Capacity Advisor Consolidation
software
On a Microsoft Windows CMS, allocate 64.5 MB for each workload on each
Windows or Linux managed system to support agentless data collection. Allot
34.7 MB for each workload on each HP-UX managed system.
Requires at least 1 GB of disk space.HP Global Workload Manager
(gWLM)
If you intend to keep historical data, HP recommends allowing 4 GB for every
100 workloads managed by the Global Workload Manager.
If you are not interested in historical data, use the gwlm history --truncate
command to trim the historical database.
This space will be allocated on the Microsoft SQL Database server.

Management capabilities of a CMS with a maximum tested configuration
Table 5 lists the management capabilities supported by the recommended x64 CMS configuration
running 8 processing cores at 2.4 GHz with 24 GB RAM and 50 GB disk space and a separate
remote database server running with 8 processing cores at 2.4 GHz with 16 GB RAM and 50
GB of disk space.
