Agent Sizing Information
The VCM-related file size on the disk varies depending on the platform and the actual data collected. The
tables below identify data files for default collections only. Approximate sizes are in megabytes.
NOTE Use the information in the tables as a general guideline. While VMware makes every effort to
validate the numbers, quoted factors such as the types of data collected will affect the sizing. VMware
cannot guarantee that the sizing information quoted will be accurate for all installations.
