2.2.4 Required Resources for Operation (for Operation as Express's Manager)

2.2.4.1 Required Disk Space for Operation

For operating ETERNUS SF Manager, in addition to disk space described in "2.2.3.1 Required Disk Space for Installation", the server on which it is installed must have free disk space as described below.

For Windows Environments

Directory Name

Disk Space Required for Performance Management

When the performance management is being performed, add disk space as described in "Table 2.10 Required Capacity for Performance Management".

Point

  • For "securedLUs", which is the actual number of LUs, performance management secures the performance information of the storage device.

    For example, if an instruction to secure the performance information of LU#15 to LU#200 is issued, the actual number of secured LUs is 256, which is LU#0 to LU#255. This is because the performance management secures the performance information of the storage device in units of 64 LUs.

  • "securedRAIDgroups" is the sum total of the following RAID group numbers.

    • The number of RAID groups where the secured LUs exist

    • The number of RAID groups that configure the Thin Provisioning Pool where the secured LUs exist

    • The number of RAID groups that configure the Tier pool where the secured LUs exist

*1: When enabling Deduplication/Compression to operate the device, add 170 MB to the capacity calculated by the formula.

Estimation Formula for Repository Size for Common Control
Required size (MB) = 400 + (servers + switches + devicesToBeManaged + disks + RAIDGroups + volumes) / 100 + (servers + switches + devicesToBeManaged) * users / 500
  • servers : Number of Managed Servers

  • switches : Number of switches to be managed

  • devicesToBeManaged : Number of ETERNUS Disk storage systems to be managed

  • disks : Total number of disks to be managed (Total number of disks in each ETERNUS Disk storage system to be managed)

  • RAIDGroups : Total number of RAID groups to be managed (Total number of RAID groups that are created in each ETERNUS Disk storage system to be managed)

  • volumes : Total number of volumes to be managed (Total number of volumes that are created in each ETERNUS Disk storage system to be managed)

  • users : Number of users using Web Console (Number of user accounts)

2.2.4.2 Required Memory for Operation

For operating ETERNUS SF Manager, the server on which it is installed must add the following amount of memory.

For the manageable environment by ETERNUS SF Manager, refer to "Appendix E Upper Limit of Manageable Environment".

Note

Set swap memory. For capacity, set the value that is recommended by the operating system.
