Dynamic disk capacity
Database and memory space for the CMDB manager

The amount of space for the database and memory for the CMDB manager increases as the number of managed business servers increases. Estimate the amount of space for the database and memory based on the following table:

Number of business servers

Total amount of disk space used

Total amount of memory space used

500

Approx. 1.5 GB (*1)

Approx. 2.5 GB

1,000

Approx. 2.6 GB (*1)

Approx. 3.6 GB

1,500

Approx. 3.7 GB (*1)

Approx. 4.8 GB

*1: Assuming that ten patches per month are applied to each business server, if a business server is used for five years then these figures will increase by approximately 2GB.


Disk space for the media library

The following table indicates the recommended disk space for the media library:

Area name

Disk space

Media library

Approximately 2.5 GB + Total asset size (*1)

*1: Total size of all files managed as assets.


Database space for process management

A rough estimate of the database space required for process management can be calculated using the following formula:

Database space (rough estimate) = 1 MB x total number of automated operation processes (*1)

*1: The total number of requests for patch application, patch distribution, parameter setting, script execution, or configuration modification. If this type of request is made to multiple servers at the same time, the number of servers is regarded as the number of requests.

[Windows]

Note

  • Do not select Compress drive to save disk space on the drive where you will create the database space.

    This is because compressing the drive incurs higher performance overhead than normal I/O processing, leading to access errors, which are dependent on I/O capacity and are caused by insufficient operating system resources.

  • Do not select the Compress and Encrypt attributes group box in the dialog box displayed when you click Advanced in the General tab for setting properties of the folder where you will create the database space.

    This is because, as with drive compression, setting the compression attribute incurs higher performance overhead than normal I/O processing, leading to access errors, which are dependent on I/O capacity and are caused by insufficient operating system resources.

    In addition, if the encryption attribute is set, encryption cannot be disabled and access errors occur because the user who controls the database space is different from users used with Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager.
