Disk Space Considerations for Manager and MDB Installation

Install the DSM manager on a partition with at least 12 GB of free disk space. The installation itself uses approximately 7.7 GB of disk space and has some additional space requirements for log files. If the MDB is also being installed on this partition, you should allow at least an additional 50 GB for the database (both SQL Server and Oracle) and associated online check point and journal files. A large SQL Server or Oracle database could require up to 100 GB. These figures are independent of your data storage requirements for storing software packages for distribution. For more information, see the "Hardware Specifications and Requirements" chapter in the CA Client Automation Release Notes that are part of the CA Client Automation documentation set (Bookshelf).

A reboot of the system is normally not required after installation, but it may enhance performance by making more system resources available.

Data replication between domain tier and enterprise tier requires a minimum size of the tempdb database. Therefore, it is important to have sufficient space allocated for the tempdb files and transaction log. We recommend that you set the initial file size for the tempdb on the domain tier to 80 MB and on the enterprise tier to 2 GB. Additionally, make sure that the autogrowth property is set to 'unrestricted growth'.
