5.2.1 Disk space requirements for the distribution-destination system

The following shows how to estimate the disk space requirement for installing packages on the distribution-destination system.

[Figure]

[Figure]

A temporary work directory is required when a package is installed in the distribution-destination system. You can obtain the size of the work directory by subtracting α from the result of the above formula.

For JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent, the name of the work directory is as follows:

The name /NETMRDS in an OS other than HP-UX is a symbolic link to the directory that is actually used as the work directory. The actual work directory name might be /opt/NETMDMW in Linux, and /opt/NETMRDS in other OSs. For the work directory, the actual directory is used.

To use the distribution-destination system also as a packager, add the disk space shown in 5.2.2 Disk space requirements for the packager.

When using the following functions, add the disk space.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Client services

(a) Installation when the system stops or starts

Installing a package when the system stops or starts requires as much free disk space as the size of the package.

[Figure]

(b) Recovery from an installation failure

When the recovery facility creates a backup copy of the previous version of the package, it requires as much disk space as the previous version of the package.

For a Hitachi program product

[Figure]

For another company's software

When the recovery facility is used to distribute the HP-UX version of another company's software, the standard OS installation command swinstall is executed at the distribution-destination systems with the -x autorecover_product=true option specified. Because the files created by the installation are backed up, as much disk space as that used for the backup is required.

For user data and a user program (when a backup list is not used)

The following shows an example of calculating the total file name length.

(c) Log file

Message log file for the client services

The following shows the amount of disk space required by the files below.

  • For systems other than HP-UX: /NETMRDS/rdsprm/MAIN.LOGF

  • For HP-UX: /var/opt/NETMDMW/rdsprm/MAIN.LOGF

    [Figure]

If the maximum value specified in MaxEntryofMessage is exceeded, information is overwritten.

Hitachi program product distribution information

The following files require 128 kilobytes of disk space. If file size exceeds 128 kilobytes, the file is deleted, and then created again. The information is output to the new file.

  • For systems other than HP-UX:/NETMRDS/rdsprm/PPINS.LOGF

  • For HP-UX: /var/opt/NETMDMW/rdsprm/PPINS.LOGF

Distribution information about another company's software

The following files require 10,240 kilobytes of disk space. If the file size exceeds 10,240 kilobytes, the existing information is moved to the ISVSOFT.LOGF.bak backup file, and new information is output to ISVSOFT.LOGF.

  • For systems other than HP-UX: /NETMRDS/rdsprm/ISVSOFT.LOGF

  • For HP-UX: /var/opt/NETMDMW/rdsprm/ISVSOFT.LOGF

The size of the ISVSOFT.LOGF file can be changed using the operating-environment settings file. For details on this file, see 5.7.2 Items set in the operating-environment settings file.

OS patch distribution information

The following files store messages output during unarchiving and installation command execution of OS patches. For both files, the currently stored messages are replaced with new ones every time an OS patch distribution job is executed. If multiple OS patch distribution jobs are created and executed, the files store the messages for each of the distributed OS patches.

  • For systems other than HP-UX:

    /NETMRDS/rdsprm/OSPATCH.LOGF

    /NETMRDS/rdsprm/UNACV.LOGF

  • For HP-UX

    /var/opt/NETMDMW/rdsprm/OSPATCH.LOGF

    /var/opt/NETMDMW/rdsprm/UNACV.LOGF

File for storing information output during collection processing by a user program

The following files require 20 kilobytes of disk space: If the file size exceeds 20 kilobytes, information is overwritten.

  • For systems other than HP-UX:/NETMRDS/rdsprm/CF.LOGF

  • For HP-UX:/var/opt/NETMDMW/rdsprm/CF.LOGF

(2) Generator tools

(a) Installation-scheduled packages

The disk space requirement for the directory for installation-scheduled packages (/opt/NETMDMGF/HOKAN/).

[Figure]

(b) Log file

Log file for the generator tools (/opt/NETMDMGF/GF.LOGF)

[Figure]

If the file size exceeds the disk capacity shown above, information is overwritten.

Error log for the generator tools (/opt/NETMDMGF/.dmgflog)

The following files require 13,380 kilobytes of disk space. If the file size exceeds 13,380 kilobytes, information is overwritten.
