3.3 Operation Management Client

This section explains the installation conditions for operation management clients. Operation management clients only run on Windows platforms. If the Manager platform is also Windows, then both the Manager and the operation management client can be installed on the same server.

The Manager and the operation management client cannot be installed on the same server if the Manager is running on a cluster system.

3.3.1.1 How to estimate the space required for reports

Operation management clients must have space for reports.

Each standard report takes up about 500 kilobytes of space.

The method for estimating the space required for on-demand reports and scheduled reports is explained below.

Type of report function	Estimation method
On-demand report	Up to 50 on-demand reports can be stored, so 25 megabytes of space is required. 500 KB x 50 (copies) = 25 MB
Scheduled report	Assuming that one copy of each daily, weekly and monthly report is registered and then kept for one year, a total of 215 megabytes of space will be required. Daily reports: 500 KB x 1 (copy) x 365 (days) = 182.5 MB Weekly reports: 500 KB x 1 (copy) x 53 (weeks) = 26.5 MB Monthly reports: 500 KB x 1 (copy) x 12 (months) = 6.0 MB Scheduled reports are not deleted automatically by default. If necessary, delete scheduled reports by scheduling the scheduled report deletion command.
