Install the VSE Management Software on a server that is reserved for use as a CMS. Do not use this server to run other applications and services that are unrelated to HP SIM. Running additional unnecessary applications on this server can significantly affect the performance of HP SIM and the VSE Management Software. Table 2-2 lists the minimum hardware requirements for an HP-UX CMS.

Table 2-2 HP-UX CMS Hardware Requirements

CPU

All HP 9000 servers, HP Integrity servers, HP Integrity server blades, and HP Integrity virtual machines with two or more cores. HP recommends 4 or more cores for the CMS for configurations approaching the maximum VSE configuration shown in Table 2-1.

Physical Memory

Minimum memory required:

HP-UX 11i v1

3 GB

HP-UX 11i v2

3 GB

HP-UX 11i v3

4 GB

Minimum memory required to support the maximum VSE configuration:

HP-UX 11i v1

4 GB

HP-UX 11i v2

Disk Space
/

HP SIM requires 20 MB minimum.

/opt

HP SIM requires 600 MB. The VSE Management Software requires an additional 200 MB.

/var/opt

Log files are stored in the directories /var/opt/amgr, /var/opt/gwlm and /var/opt/vse/logs. These logs are not automatically trimmed.

Capacity Advisor requires a maximum of 4 GB for every 100 workloads to maintain 4 years of historic data. This data is stored in the directory /var/opt/vse. You can modify the amount of data retained in data collection by modifying the PROFILE_RETAIN_DAYS variable. For details, see the HP Capacity Advisor Version 4.0 User's Guide.

Database Storage

Global Workload Manager requires at least 1 GB. If you intend to keep historical data, HP recommends allowing 4 GB for every 100 workloads managed by gWLM. If you are not interested in historical data, you can trim the historical database by using the following command:

gwlm history --truncate

If you are using the default HP SIM PostgreSQL database, this space will be allocated in /var/opt. If you are using Oracle, this space will be allocated on the Oracle database server.

Swap Space
4 GB total swap space for HP 9000 systems.
5 GB total swap space for HP Integrity systems.
