System requirements
Table 10 summarizes the minimum required system memory requirements for running SMI Agent only on Windows
and Linux systems.
Disk space requirements
Table 11 summarizes the minimum required disk space requirements for running Network Advisor SAN with SMI
Agent on Windows and Linux systems.
Table 12 summarizes the minimum required disk space requirements for running SMI Agent only on Windows and
Linux systems.
NOTE
If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the Network Advisor server as the Upload Failure Data Capture
location for monitored switches, then additional disk space will be required. Each switch supportSave file is
approximately 5 MB and each Upload Failure Data Capture file is approximately 500 KB. To determine the disk space
requirements, multiply the frequency of scheduled supportSave files by 5 MB and the expected Upload Failure Data
Capture files by 500 KB before the planned periodic purge activity.
Browser requirements
The launch of Network Advisor and the launch of Element Manager (Web Tools) from the application are supported
from the following browsers with a Java plug-in:
• Browsers
- Windows Internet Explorer under Windows
- Firefox under Windows or Linux
• Java Plug-ins
