Impact
Disk space required for MC/ServiceGuard is 47MB. The memory required is 6MB, plus
70KB per package in the cluster, plus 300KB per Event Monitoring Service (EMS)
resource in the cluster. This total amount is required on all cluster nodes, regardless of
whether a given package or resource is on that node or not.
