[Veritas-bu] NOM Hardware Requirements

Couple of quick things that'll hopefully provide someone some ideas of
what to expect. 

I've got it running on an older test box (v480) with Solaris 10. 4 900
MHz CPUs, 16 GB memory. I'm monitoring three NB 6 servers and the load
on my NOM server usually looks like:    
        load averages:  0.24,  0.22,  0.18
        58 processes:  57 sleeping, 1 on cpu
        CPU states: 95.7% idle,  1.9% user,  2.4% kernel,  0.0% iowait,
0.0% swap
        Memory: 16G real, 13G free, 655M swap in use, 21G swap free
(first few lines from a top)
This is a server doing nothing else but running NOM. 

>From what I can tell, both the database back-end to NOM and its web
interface will require some decent horsepower to keep users happy with
the results. 

Hope this helps somewhat.

$ du -sh *NOM*
234M    NB_60_NOM.tar.gz

The program itself is big, you need to install ICS, setup 
tunnel/authentication/brokering etc..  I remember the patches were 
50-250MB as well, which I thought was crazy.  I had set this up 4-5
months 
ago for test purposes and I do not recall the exact amount of memory; 
however, I do remember there were a lot of processes in use, the ICS 
stuff, a number of webserver-like applications for NOM, etc..

Perhaps someone on the list who is -currently- using NOM can shed some 
light on this?

Thanks,

Justin.

this thing sized right to start with.
