Cisco tests the simulated network configurations using the Enterprise Edition Oracle database type listed in
Your setup
and performance might vary depending on the size of your network and the usage pattern of management tasks.
The following list describes the server configuration parameters and the effect of changes in each parameter on the maximum
number of NEs the server can manage:
number of NEs the server can manage:
•
Network Size—If the network size increases, more resources are reserved for the higher number of NEs to be managed.
•
RAM—The server can manage more NEs as the RAM increases. The server can manage fewer NEs as the RAM decreases.
•
Number of Network Partitions—For each network partition, the server reserves resources for the higher number of NEs to
be managed. The server can manage more NEs as the number of network partitions increases. The server can manage fewer
NEs as the number of network partitions decreases.

The minimum disk space is the total space required for /, swap, /cisco, /oracle, /db01, /db02, /db03, /db04, and /db05. (The
minimum disk space does not include /ctm_backup or the optional partitions /db01_rd and /db02_rd.)

2. In Prime Optical 10.6, a single NE service (or a single network partition) can support up to 750 nodes.
A high-end network supports any combination of up to 5000 nodes, 8 network partitions, and 750 nodes per network partition. For example, 6 NE
services with 750 nodes + 1 NE service with 500 nodes ([6 x 750] + [1 x 500] = 5000). A large network supports any combination of up to
2000 nodes, 4 network partitions, and 750 nodes per network partition. For example, 4 NE services with 500 nodes (4 x 500), 2 NE services with
750 nodes + 1 NE service with 500 nodes ([2 x 750] + [1 x 500]).
