FWIW, our NOM server runs in a VMWare partition and has 384MB memory and
a 4GB root disk. The disk filled up at one point but having read the
manual I invoked the NOM backup and log purge facility and disk space
usage seems pretty stable now.

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
