The following table shows the memory requirements of JP1/Software Distribution Manager as a managing server.

Table 5-3 Memory requirements of JP1/Software Distribution Manager

Facility	Memory requirements (in megabytes)
JP1/Software Distribution server	34 + 0.020 x a a: Number of concurrently connected servers#2
JP1/Software Distribution server (relay manager)#1	71 + 0.020 x (a + 25) a: Number of concurrently connected servers#2
Remote Installation Manager	20 + 0.002 x b b: Number of displayed data items#3
Inventory Viewer	7.5 + 0.007 x c c: Number of computers displaying inventory
Relational database (when Embedded RDB is used)	300 + (a x 2) x 10 a: Number of concurrently connected computers#2

#1

When you monitor operations in a virtual environment, the minimum memory requirement varies. It also varies depending on the number of users connected.

30 or fewer users: 4 gigabytes

60 or fewer users: 8 gigabytes

#2

Number of concurrently connected computers is the value specified for the number of lower systems that can be concurrently connected on the Server Customization page in the Server Setup dialog box.

#3

Number of displayed data items is the total number of items displayed in the following windows of Remote Installation Manager:

• System Configuration window:
  Relay managers, relay systems, clients, system information items, and inventory items such as software inventory
  
• Destination window:
  ID groups, destination groups, clients, system information items and inventory items such as software inventory
  
• Job Definition:
  Job definitions
  
• Package window:
  Cabinets and packages
  
• Job Status window:
  Jobs and job destinations
  
• List of Software Information window:
  Search lists
  
• Directory Information window:
  Organizational units (OUs), groups, computers, system information items, and inventory items such as software inventory items
  

If you display the same window more than once, count all the items displayed in all instances of that window.

The following table shows the memory requirements of JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system).

Table 5-4 Memory requirements of a relay system

Facility	Memory requirements (in megabytes)
Relay system#1	28 + 0.018 x (a + 8) + (b x 0.001) a: Number of concurrently connected computers#2 b: Size of the management file cache#3

#1

When you monitor operations in a virtual environment, the minimum memory requirement varies. It also varies depending on the number of users connected.

30 or fewer users: 4 gigabytes

60 or fewer users: 8 gigabytes

#2

Number of concurrently connected computers is the value specified for the number of clients that can be concurrently connected on the Relay System Customization page in the relay system basic settings.

#3

Use the following formula to calculate the size of the management file cache:

Size of the management file cache (kilobytes) =

number of jobs retained on the relay system that were executed on the relay system or by the higher system

x number of lower clients per job

x number of packages per job (for remote installation jobs)

x 1 kilobyte

Facility		Memory requirements (in megabytes)
Client#	When resident	18
	Remote installation of package	24
	Installation by client user	28
Startup Kit Support Tool		4
