McAfee® Network Security Platform 6.0 Installing the Manager/Central Manager 11 Enter a value to set Actual Maximum RAM Usage. The RAM size indicated here determines the recommended amount of program memory (virtual memory) to allocate for server processes required by Network Security Platform. Since Jboss memory uses hard-disk-based memory (program memory), the total amount of both can exceed the Manager server's RAM memory size. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 (SP2) English are supported. For Japanese, Windows Server 2003 R2 (Standard Edition), (both 32 bit and 64 bit if the Central Manager/Manager version is 5.1.11.x or above; for all other 5.1, only 32 bit) Note: For 32-bit, the Recommended Maximum RAM Usage is 1170 MB and the Actual Maximum RAM Usage can be between 512 and 1170 MB. For 64-bit, the Recommended Maximum RAM Usage is Physical Server Memory divided by 2 or 1170 MB - whichever is greater. The Actual Maximum RAM Usage can be between 512 MB up to the Physical Server Memory size. 12 Set the following (applicable only Network Security Manager):  Number of Sensors: Select the numbers of McAfee® Network Security Sensors (Sensors) to be managed by this installation of the Manager.  Actual Maximum DB connections: Enter the maximum number of simultaneous connections database connections allowed from the Manager. The default is 40. The recommended number indicated above is based on the Number of Sensors. Figure 9: Selecting the number of sensors 13 If the Manager server has multiple IP addresses, you can specify a dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 address that it should use to communicate with the Sensors. To specify an IP, select Use a Dedicated Interface? and then select the IPv4 and IPv6 address from the corresponding list. Some key points to note:  In the Wizard, the option to specify a dedicated interface is displayed only if the Manager has more than one IP. When configuring the sensors, you need to configure the same IP that you specify here as the Manager server IP. 24

McAfee® Network Security Platform 6.0
Installing the Manager/Central Manager
11
Enter a value to set
Actual Maximum RAM Usage
. The RAM size indicated here
determines the recommended amount of program memory (virtual memory) to
allocate for server processes required by Network Security Platform.
Since Jboss memory uses hard-disk-based memory (program memory), the total
amount of both can exceed the Manager server’s RAM memory size.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 (SP2) English are supported.
For Japanese, Windows Server 2003 R2 (Standard Edition), (both 32 bit and 64 bit if
the Central Manager/Manager version is 5.1.11.x or above; for all other 5.1, only 32
bit)
Note:
For 32-bit, the
Recommended Maximum RAM Usage
is 1170 MB and the
Actual
Maximum RAM Usage
can be between 512 and 1170 MB.
For 64-bit, the
Recommended Maximum RAM Usage
is
Physical Server Memory
divided by
2 or 1170 MB - whichever is greater. The
Actual Maximum RAM Usage
can be
between 512 MB up to the
Physical Server Memory
size.
12
Set the following (applicable only Network Security Manager):
Number of Sensors
: Select the numbers of McAfee
®
Network Security Sensors
(Sensors) to be managed by this installation of the Manager.
Actual Maximum DB connections
: Enter the maximum number of simultaneous
connections database connections allowed from the Manager. The default is 40.
The recommended number indicated above is based on the
Number of Sensors
.
Figure 9: Selecting the number of sensors
13
If the Manager server has multiple IP addresses, you can specify a dedicated IPv4
and IPv6 address that it should use to communicate with the Sensors.
To specify an IP, select
Use a Dedicated Interface?
and then select the IPv4 and IPv6
address from the corresponding list.
Some key points to note:
In the Wizard, the option to specify a dedicated interface is displayed only if the
Manager has more than one IP. When configuring the sensors, you need to
configure the same IP that you specify here as the Manager server IP.
