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.

• For information on hardware sizing requirements for HP-UX Itanium, contact Oracle Support.

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

Table 2-1 Hardware Sizing Guidelines

Deployment Size	Small	Medium	Large	Extra-Large
Services/day	<= 300,000	<= 600,000	<= 1,500,000	<= 3,000,000
Services/hour	<= 33,500	<= 66,500	<= 166,500	<= 333,000
# of Subscribers Base (in Millions)	10	20	50	100
x86-64/Linux Platform - Application Server	CPU: 1 x 4 core - 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8167M - 8 threads RAM: 1 x 60 GB HDD: 1 X 300 GB	CPU: 2 x 4 core - 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8167M - 16 threads RAM: 2 x 60 GB HDD: 2 X 300 GB	CPU: 8 x 4 core - 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8167M - 64 threads RAM: 8 x 60 GB HDD: 8 X 300 GB	CPU: 14 x 4 core - 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8167M - 112 threads RAM: 14 x 60 GB HDD: 14 X 300 GB
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Equivalent for Application Server	1 x VM.Standard2.4 (4 OCPUs)	2 x VM.Standard2.4 Shape (8 OCPUs)	8 x VM.Standard2.4 Shape (32 OCPUs)	14 x VM.Standard2.4 Shape (56 OCPUs)
x86-64/Linux Platform - Database Server	CPU: 1 x 8 core - 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8167M - 16 threads RAM: 1 x 120 GB Initial storage: 400 GB Storage growth (annual): 1.2 TB	CPU: 2 x 16 core - 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8167M - 64 threads RAM: 2 x 240 GB Initial storage: 2 TB Storage growth (annual): 4 TB	CPU: 2 x 24 core - 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8167M - 96 threads RAM: 2 x 320 GB Initial storage: 4 TB Storage growth (annual): 6 TB	CPU: 2 x 24 core - 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8167M - 96 threads RAM: 2 x 320 GB Initial storage: 6 TB Storage growth (annual): 12 TB
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Equivalent for Database Server	1 x VM.Standard2.8 Shape (8 OCPUs)	2 x VM.Standard2.16 Shape (32 OCPUs)	2 x VM.Standard2.24 Shape (48 OCPUs)	2 x VM.Standard2.24 Shape (48 OCPUs)

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.

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.
