2 Unified Inventory Management System Requirements
This chapter describes the hardware, operating system, software, server, and database requirements for installing Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management (UIM).
Software Requirements
For details about the software required to support the UIM components for traditional deployment, see "UIM Traditional Deployment Software Compatibility" in UIM Compatibility Matrix.
Hardware Sizing Guidelines
Table 2-1 provides hardware sizing guidelines for UIM.
Note:
-
The information in this section is meant as a guideline only. The values in this section are approximate. Accurate sizing for a production system requires a detailed analysis of the proposed business requirements. Sizing guidelines are based on an average CPU utilization rate of 60% - 70%. The guidelines do not account for High Availability and Disaster Recovery environments.

-
The UIM installer supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses. You can install and deploy UIM on servers that support IPv6 addresses.

Note:
Based on the 5G Mobile cartridge pack, one service invokes five Web service operations against UIM. Each service is composed of 1 CFS and 2 RFS.
DB Storage is listed without retention calculations. Storage requirements will increase with number of subscriber population and retention period requirements.
UIM 7.5 and later cloud native deployments require an additional 5% compute resources for Kubernetes and container management.
UIM 7.5 and later versions have native application monitoring capabilities which require a minimum 2 GB additional allocation in the heap if the monitoring feature is enabled.
Unified Topology for Inventory and Automation Hardware Sizing Guidelines
Unified Topology for Inventory and Automation (UTIA) is made up of several components that run in Kubernetes environment. The sizing for each of these components is listed in the following tables and the total value represents the hardware footprint that is required to run Kubernetes and the UTIA components. The sizing is divided between application components and database components.
Note:
The information in this section is meant as a guideline only. The values in this section are approximate. Accurate sizing for a production system requires a detailed analysis of the proposed business requirements. The guidelines do not account for High Availability, Disaster Recovery environments, or lower testing and development environments. The database storage is listed without retention calculations.
The following tables provide hardware sizing guidelines for UTIA.

Information Requirements
During UIM installation, you are required to enter configuration values such as host names and port numbers. You define some of these configuration values when you install and configure the Oracle database and WebLogic Server.
If you have already installed Oracle Communications products, the installer reads the values from the existing Oracle Communications products and uses them as default values. If no Oracle Communications products are installed, the installer uses the default values shown in the following tables.
Each chapter contains tables for the configuration values.
