A Meeting Hardware Requirements

This appendix describes the hardware requirements you must meet before installing Oracle Management Service (OMS), a standalone Oracle Management Agent (Management Agent), and Oracle Management Repository.

Note:

For information about the hard disk space required and the ulimits to be set for OMS and standalone Management Agent, see My Oracle Support note 1076752.1. For information about planning and sizing your Enterprise Manager deployment, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Administration Guide available at:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/oem.html

Table A-1 shows the minimum physical memory (RAM) required for installing an OMS and a standalone Management Agent:

Table A-1 Required Physical Memory for Oracle Management Service and Oracle Management Agent

Installation Type	Physical Memory (RAM)
Oracle Management Service	3 GB
Oracle Management Service with ADP Manager^Foot 1	6 GB
Oracle Management Agent (standalone)	512 MB
Oracle Management Agent (standalone) with ADP Manager	1 GB

^Footnote 1ADP Manager is Application Dependency and Performance Manager

Note:

For information about ADP and for instructions to enable the ADP feature in Enterprise Manager Grid Control, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Getting Started with Management Pack Plus for SOA.

Both these guides are available at:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/oem.html
For Microsoft Windows 32-bit hosts, the RAM required is 4 GB.

Table A-2 shows the recommended physical memory (RAM) for installing an OMS and a standalone Management Agent:
