OTP System Server Considerations

Hard drive capacity and the number of OTP hosts to be managed are the primary considerations for your OTP system.

• Hard drive capacity is affected by three factors: the number of OS distributions that are to be provisioned, the management log files generated by Open Telecommunications Platform components, and the size of the applications to be provisioned.

  • If you are using the OTP system management service to provision OS distributions, the OS distributions are stored in the /var/js file hierarchy on the first OTP host

  • If you are using the OTP application provisioning service to provision OS distributions, the OS distributions are stored in the /var/otp file hierarchy on the first OTP host

• System processing is affected by three major factors: The number of additional OTP hosts being managed, the types of monitoring being performed on the additional OTP hosts, and the number of jobs running on the first OTP host.
