Re: [Veritas-bu] NOM Hardware Requirements
FWIW, our NOM server runs in a VMWare partition and has 384MB memory and a 4GB root disk. The disk filled up at one point but having read the manual I invoked the NOM backup and log purge facility and disk space usage seems pretty stable now.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NOM Hardware Requirements
Couple of quick things that'll hopefully provide someone some ideas of what to expect. I've got it running on an older test box (v480) with Solaris 10. 4 900 MHz CPUs, 16 GB memory. I'm monitoring three NB 6 servers and the load on my NOM server usually looks like: load averages: 0.24, 0.22, 0.18 58 processes: 57 sleeping, 1 on cpu CPU states: 95.7% idle, 1.9% user, 2.4% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap Memory: 16G real, 13G free, 655M swap in use, 21G swap free (first few lines from a top) This is a server doing nothing else but running NOM. >From what I can tell, both the database back-end to NOM and its web interface will require some decent horsepower to keep users happy with the results.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NOM Hardware Requirements
My intention was on Linux but in this case I guess I will have to go Windows. What kind of RAM and HDD was this thing using? GB of RAM and 5 GB HDD? More? We are going to use VMWare/ESX 2.5 and I would rather get this thing sized right to start with. Thanks.

[Veritas-bu] NOM Hardware Requirements
Title: Scalix message content We are getting ready to put NOM in a Linux VM. Can anyone give me some idea as to what kind of resources this needs? Specifically looking for RAM and HDD space requirements. I looked at the NOM getting started guide, Admin guide for Windows vol I & II, and all I could find were common sense things like a "reliable server". Thanks.
