2 Engineering Guidelines

This chapter outlines the engineering guidelines for Oracle Communications Configuration Management, including hardware, software and memory requirements, as well as setup recommendations.

Small-scale Deployment

This scenario is intended for small-scale deployments of 1,000 devices or less. To view the recommended deployment scenario, see "Small-scale Scenario".The minimum requirements for a small-scale deployment are:

• Sun Solaris 10 server with Sun Fire V240, dual 1.28 GHz CPUs

• Memory: 4 GB

• Storage — assuming PE devices are backed up daily and CE devices are backed up weekly, the space required to hold three months of device archives is:

  • Per PE device: 820 MB

  • Per CE device: 1.2 MB

  If you schedule more than one PE archive per day, multiply the PE storage requirements by the daily frequency.

Medium-scale Deployment

A medium-scale deployment is one with 1,000 to 5,000 devices. To view the recommended deployment scenario, see "Medium-scale Scenario".The minimum requirements for a medium-scale deployment are:

• Two Sun Solaris 10 servers with Sun Fire V240, dual 1.28 GHz CPUs

• Memory: 2 GB for the Configuration Management server and 4 GB for the Service Activator server

• Storage — assuming PE devices are backed up daily and CE devices are backed up weekly, the space required to hold three months of device archives is:

  • Per PE device: 820 MB

  • Per CE device: 1.2 MB

  If you schedule more than one PE archive per day, multiply the PE storage requirements by the daily frequency.

Large-scale Deployment

A large-scale deployment is one with more than 5,000 devices. To view the recommended deployment scenario, see "Large-scale Scenario".

The minimum requirements for a large-scale deployment are:

• Two Sun Solaris 10 servers with Sun Fire V240, dual 1.28 GHz CPUs

• Memory: 2 GB for the Configuration Management server and 2 GB for each Service Activator server

• Storage — assuming PE devices are backed up daily and CE devices are backed up weekly, the space required to hold three months of device archives is:

  • Per PE device: 820 MB

  • Per CE device: 1.2 MB

  If you schedule more than one PE archive per day, multiply the PE storage requirements by the daily frequency.

User Sessions

For single server deployments, a maximum of 10 simultaneous user sessions is recommended.

For distributed deployments, a maximum of 15 simultaneous user sessions is recommended.
