Hardware requirements for System i products
IBM Director components have minimum commercial processing workload (CPW),
storage pool size, and disk space requirements when installed on System i
products.
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. As the number of managed objects in your IBM Director environment
increases, make sure you increase disk space and storage pool size on the system
running IBM Director Server.
v
Resource Monitors, tasks, event action plans, and managed endpoints increase
the resources required by IBM Director Server.
