7.5 Mbytes 

17 Mbytes per OS service (this is the minimum space required for the OS; depending upon the OS that you wish to install, the space required could be much greater) 

20 Mbytes for each AutoClient system (typically in /export) 

Note: When you add an AutoClient system to a server, the /export/root directory is specified by default to store the 20 Mbytes for each system. However, you can specify any directory that has available disk space. See "Adding AutoClient Systems" for detailed information.

Caution - Caution -

The AutoClient configuration uses the entire disk(s) on the system. (For more information on AutoClient disk configurations, see Table 6-3.) If data already exists on the disk(s), it will be overwritten. You should preserve the data elsewhere by backing it up before you add and boot a system. (See "Adding AutoClient Systems".)
