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. Hope this helps somewhat. - John Nardello -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 5:36 AM To: "Koster, Phil" Cc: veritas-bu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NOM Hardware Requirements $ du -sh *NOM* 234M NB_60_NOM.tar.gz The program itself is big, you need to install ICS, setup tunnel/authentication/brokering etc.. I remember the patches were 50-250MB as well, which I thought was crazy. I had set this up 4-5 months ago for test purposes and I do not recall the exact amount of memory; however, I do remember there were a lot of processes in use, the ICS stuff, a number of webserver-like applications for NOM, etc.. Perhaps someone on the list who is -currently- using NOM can shed some light on this? Thanks, Justin.
