Chapter 1. Hardware requirements for IBM Director To successfully install IBM Director, the system on which you install IBM Director components must meet certain minimum hardware requirements, depending on the components to be installed and the type of system on which they will be installed. Because a system configured with the minimum requirements might perform poorly in a production environment, consider the following suggestions: v Be sure that your system can accommodate the hardware requirements, keeping in mind that the microprocessor speed, memory, and disk-space minimum requirements are additional to the resources are necessary for the software already installed on the system. v Conduct a performance analysis to ensure that the system has sufficient capacity to handle the additional requirements of functioning as a management server or a management console. Hardware requirements for x86-compatible systems IBM Director components have minimum microprocessor speed, random access memory (RAM), and disk space requirements on x86-compatible systems, including System i platforms, IntelliStation workstations, NetVista desktop computers, IBM ThinkCentre desktop computers, ThinkPad mobile computers, IBM System Storage™ Network Attached Storage (NAS) products, and IBM SurePOS™ point-of-sale systems. When reviewing the hardware requirements, consider the following information: v The disk space listed is the minimum requirement for an installation using the default selections. v Requirements listed for IBM Director Server do not include the database program hardware requirements or the increased persistent storage for managed objects. v The systems on which you install IBM Director Agent or IBM Director Server must meet the Wired for Management (WfM), version 2.0, specifications. v System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) 2.1 or later is required for all systems in an IBM Director environment.

Chapter 1. Hardware requirements for IBM Director
To successfully install IBM Director, the system on which you install IBM Director
components must meet certain minimum hardware requirements, depending on
the components to be installed and the type of system on which they will be
installed.
Because a system configured with the minimum requirements might perform
poorly in a production environment, consider the following suggestions:
v
Be sure that your system can accommodate the hardware requirements, keeping
in mind that the microprocessor speed, memory, and disk-space minimum
requirements are
additional
to the resources are necessary for the software
already installed on the system.
v
Conduct a performance analysis to ensure that the system has sufficient capacity
to handle the additional requirements of functioning as a management server or
a management console.
Hardware requirements for x86-compatible systems
IBM Director components have minimum microprocessor speed, random access
memory (RAM), and disk space requirements on x86-compatible systems,
including System i platforms, IntelliStation workstations, NetVista desktop
computers, IBM ThinkCentre desktop computers, ThinkPad mobile computers, IBM
System Storage
™
Network Attached Storage (NAS) products, and IBM SurePOS
™
point-of-sale systems.
When reviewing the hardware requirements, consider the following information:
v
The disk space listed is the minimum requirement for an installation using the
default selections.
v
Requirements listed for IBM Director Server do not include the database
program hardware requirements or the increased persistent storage for managed
objects.
v
The systems on which you install IBM Director Agent or IBM Director Server
must meet the Wired for Management (WfM), version 2.0, specifications.
v
System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) 2.1 or later is required for all systems in an
IBM Director environment.
