Cisco Cisco Prime Network 3.10 Guide De Montage

Example Hardware for One-Server Setup

For a one-server setup where the gateway, unit, and database are co-located (with no LDOM partitioning), you could choose
one of the examples below:

•

Cisco UCS C210 M1 General-Purpose Rack-Mount Server with:

–

2 Xeon 5500 processors

–

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Release 5.3 64-bit

–

64 GB RAM

–

No VMWare

•

Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server with:

–

2 UltraSPARC T2+ processors

–

64 GB RAM

–

Solaris 10 64-bit update 10

Example Hardware for Two-Server Setup

For a two-server setup, you could choose to use one server with two virtual partitions, or two separate machines, as in the
examples below:

•

One Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server with:

–

2 UltraSPARC T2+ processors

–

64 GB RAM divided into two logical domains of 32 GB each (one for the gateway and the database, and one for the
unit).

–

Solaris 10 64-bit update 10

•

Two separate Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 servers (one for the gateway and one for the unit) with:

–

UltraSPARC T2 processor

–

32 GB RAM

–

Solaris 10 64-bit update 10

•

Two Cisco UCS C210 M1 General-Purpose Rack-Mount servers (one for the gateway and one for the unit) with:

–

1 Xeon 5500 processor

–

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Release 5.3 64-bit

–

32 GB RAM

–

No VMWare

Swap space

Twice the size of the physical memory

•

Solaris: Up to 96 GB

•

Linux: Up to 16 GB

Required
Configuration

•

Domain Name System (DNS) must be enabled on the Prime Network gateway, unit, and client.

•

For time zone, use GMT (with 0 offset) on the Prime Network servers because Prime Network
stores events in the database in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) format. The Prime Network client
converts events to the time zone that is configured on the client workstation.
