We were advised to use at least 2GB RAM with 2 good processors. It's
hard to know how much disk space you'll need (depends on how many
reports you keep, and how many servers you're monitoring, etc.) but I
don't think 5GB will be enough. We've got 400GB+, just in case (will
probably never need that much but it means it is 'future-proofed'. I
asked Symantec and they said 30GB should be fine for a while in our
environment.
We're using a dedicated server as this has been recommended;
specifically Windows for NOM apparently, although it can run on other
platforms.
The NOM guides don't give too much information about this stuff but it's
a resource hungry beast.

Cheers,

Tim

$ 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.

HDD?  More?  We are going to use VMWare/ESX 2.5 and I would rather get
this thing sized right to start with.
