System Requirements

Temporary space requirements vary from system to system. We recommend that at least 512 MB is available for the CA SDM installation purposes and 256 MB is available for the CA MDB installation. If the temporary space is less than the recommended minimum value, you can use the IATEMPDIR variable to redirect the temporary space of the installer to another folder.

The following requirements must be met or exceeded for a CA SDM server to install and run properly:

Hardware

Requirements

CPU

Single Processor 2.0 GHz minimum, Dual Processor 2.0 GHz preferred

RAM

2 GB minimum, 4 GB preferred

Disk Space

2 GB

Based on the size of your CA SDM environment, the following requirements must be met or exceeded for the product install and run properly:

Database Size

Hardware

Requirements

Small—Used for installing CA SDM in a test environment.

CPU

Single Processor 2.0 GHz minimum

 

RAM

2 GB minimum

 

Disk Space

4 GB minimum will increase over time to accommodate database growth

Medium—The CA SDM default. The recommended setting for most CA SDM installations.

CPU

Dual Processor 2.0 GHz

 

RAM

2 GB minimum, 4 GB preferred

 

Disk Space

4 GB minimum will increase over time to accommodate database growth

Large—Used for large CA SDM installations.

CPU

Quad Processor 2.0 GHz

 

RAM

4 GB minimum

 

Disk Space

4 GB minimum will increase over time to accommodate database growth

Note: The data files directory of the database server for the MDB requires at least 2 GB of space. For the CA SDM Java Client, we recommend a single 1.0 GHz processor or better with at least 1 GB of RAM. The Visualizer server requires at least 4 GB of RAM because Tomcat uses up to 1 GB from the available server RAM. A Visualizer client must have at least 1 GB of RAM and preferably more.
