IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Required hardware for distributed systems
The following sections describe the processor, disk, memory, and other hardware requirements for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring infrastructure components on distributed systems.
A distributed system is defined here as any hardware that is not zSeries .
Following is a list of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring components covered in this section:
- Hub monitoring server
- Remote monitoring server
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server
- Portal server
- Portal client
- IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub with IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers
- Tivoli Data Warehouse
- Warehouse Proxy Agent
- Summarization and Pruning Agent
- Processor requirements
For best performance, processor speeds should be as fast as possible. Choosing faster processors should result in improved response time, greater throughput, and lower CPU utilization. For Windows or Linux on AMD and Intel systems, an x64 processor is recommended.
- Memory and disk requirements
The following table shows estimated memory and disk storage for IBM Tivoli Monitoring components on distributed systems. The estimated memory usage for each component does not include the operating system and any concurrently running applications. To estimate the memory requirements for a machine, add the memory requirements for each component that will run on the machine, and add at least 1 GB for the operating system and to allow memory for filesystem caching.
- Additional requirements
This section contains some additional system requirements.
