HP-UX IPSec Product Requirements
Prior to installing the HP-UX IPSec product, check that your system can
accommodate the following product requirements.
Disk Requirements
The total size of the disk space required for the HP-UX IPSec product is
112 Mbytes. Requirements for variable-length user files are listed below:
• Configuration database file (/var/adm/ipsec/config.db):
minimum of 50 kbytes per policy file. Most configuration database
files will be approximately 1 Mbyte or less. An extremely large
configuration database (thousands of entries) may be as large as 5
Mbytes.
• Audit file: This file can grow very fast if Informative auditing is
enabled. HP recommends 1 Mbyte for the Alerts and Errors level of
logging, 5 Mbytes for the Warnings level, and 200 or more Mbytes for
the Informative message level. Informative auditing could generate
3–5 Mbytes per hour. Audit files should be kept in a separate
directory or file system. The default directory is: /var/adm/ipsec/.
