Note
VMware performance is gated by the load generated by other VMs on the same host system,
so these VM sizing figures are based on a system that is not under heavy load by other VMs.

If the memory available to the OS is between 8 and 12 GB, you can turn off
Event Viewer and Report Manager, presuming that you do not plan to use
them. Configuration Management will be usable in such systems.

Although not recommended, you can enable Event Viewer and Report
Manager for low memory systems from the Security Manager client after
completing the installation (select Tools > Security Manager Administration
> Event Management). Keep in mind that enabling Event Viewer and Report

If you install AUS on a separate server, the following minimum applies:
•
AUS-only server—4 GB. We recommend more than 4 GB.
Note
Memory utilization on the server, as shown by Windows Task
Manager, may be 99% while performing configuration operations.
This does not indicate a problem; this is normal because all processes
and functions of Security Manager use or allocate their respective
allocated memory.
