13 Chapter 3. Planning for IBM Systems Director Editions for Power Systems This section contains information about IBM Systems Director Editions for Power Systems requirements, including hardware requirements, supported hardware and operating systems, and prerequisites. Hardware and software requirements This topic provides information about IBM Systems Director Editions for Power Systems hardware and software requirements. Hardware IBM Systems Director Editions for Power Systems can run on the following IBM platforms: v IBM Power Systems v IBM BladeCenter servers with POWER microprocessor blades For more information about hardware requirements, see Hardware requirements for running IBM Systems Director Server. Operating systems IBM Systems Director Express Edition for Power Systems requires one of the following operating systems: v AIX V5.3 v AIX V6.1 v AIX V7.1 v Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform 5 for POWER v Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform 6 for POWER v SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 for POWER v SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 for POWER For more information about operating system requirements, see Operating systems supported by IBM Systems Director Recommended hardware requirements for IBM Systems Director Server running on AIX IBM Systems Director Server has certain hardware requirements to run on supported IBM Power systems running AIX. Use the following information to obtain the hardware requirements. v Disk space, memory, processor and performance requirements for your workload v Swap size and Java heap size v Disk space requirements for the installation process Copyright IBM Corp. 2011,

14 Disk space, memory, processor, and performance requirements Note: Use the IBM Systems Workload Estimator to obtain personalized, hardware recommendations for various workloads. Systems Workload Estimator The IBM Systems Workload Estimator asks several questions about how you intend to use IBM Systems Director Server in your environment, such as number of systems you are managing and the database location. After the questions are answered, the tool generates a list of system models and features that meet the resource requirements of IBM Systems Director Server including an estimate of the number of cores, memory, disk capacity, and number of disk drives required. For example, if you provide the following information: v Approximately 500 systems and operating systems managed v IBM Systems Director Server running on IBM Power systems with AIX v Database running on the local IBM Systems Director Server (default database) v Not using Active Energy Manager v 5 active console users v Using mirrored internal HDDs for disk storage You might receive recommendations for memory (5 GB), storage (59 GB), processor (4 core, 3000 MHz), number of disks (4 drives in a mirrored configuration), and more. Run the IBM Systems Workload Estimator to see customized results for your environment. The tool also shows a Growth Solution which can handle further growth for managing larger environments. Note: Allocate at least 10 GB of reserve storage because IBM Systems Director Server uses a database that continuously grows in size. When reviewing these recommendations, consider the following information: v Installation, startup, and response times improve with faster disk access times. You can achieve faster disk access times by using SCSI adapters with write cache, 10 or 15 K RPM drives, and Solid State Disks (SSDs). The best disk access times can be achieved using SSDs. v Disk capacity requirements indicate the minimum storage required by IBM Systems Director. Additional capacity may be required depending on the workload. In most cases, the number of disks is determined by disk access rates rather than the necessary capacity. v System performance depends on the nature of your requirements and system workload. v The database software sizing should be comparable for IBM DB2, Oracle Database, and Microsoft SQL Server. The database might run on the local IBM 6 IBM Systems Director Express Edition for Power Systems, V6.3

15 Systems Director Server or a remote system. Running both the IBM Systems Director Server and the database on the same system generally performs better than using a remote database server. v The Estimator only provides disk space requirements that are not on a file system base. For AIX, please consider that space requirements to run IBM Systems Director relate to the following file systems: /opt: for server information kept in a database refer to your database configuration for the file system hosting the managed IBM DB2 database. /var: for Common Agent information. v The Estimator assumes that direct-attached storage is used. Using similar disk requirements, the IBM Systems Director can also run on a server using VIOS for storage. Swap space and Java heap size requirements Swap space should be at least 3 GB regardless of the memory size. It might be necessary to change the maximum Java heap size in order for IBM Systems Director to take advantage of additional memory. On AIX, the Java heap size setting is the following path: /opt/ibm/director/lwi/conf/overrides/ director.javaopt. On 64-bit operating systems, the optimal heap size value is typically in the range of 2 GB (-Xmx2g) to 8 GB (-Xmx8g), depending on the systems being managed and the amount of physical memory available on the IBM Systems Director Server. Disk space requirements for installation AIX Attention: If you use DVD media to install IBM Systems Director Server, make sure that you allot an additional 700 MB of available space on the system to contain the agent packages that are copied from the DVD at the end of the server installation. The packages are copied to /opt/ibm/director/packaging/agent on the server. The following table provides information about disk storage requirements for installing IBM Systems Director Server. These requirements include Common Agent and Platform Agent, which are installed with IBM Systems Director Server. These requirements do not include disk storage requirements for running IBM Systems Director Server and the database, updating IBM Systems Director Server or for downloading and staging updates (such as AIX, HMC, or system firmware updates) with Update manager.
