Hardware Requirements The following sections provide space requirements for endpoint files Use the space requirements that follow as general guidelines rather than absolute totals or even averages. The actual space requirements for each item depend on the size and configurations of your TMRs. Gateways and Managed Nodes The disk space requirements for the files (Logfile and SNMP) installed on the gateways and managed nodes are about the same as for 3.6. 3.6.1-TEC-0007 uses 28 MB, and and 3.6.1-TEC-0015 uses 3 MB. Endpoint Files The disk space requirements for the endpoint adapter files (Logfile and SNMP) installed on the endpoints are the same as for 3.6.
