This is due to the additional capacity required for the installer file and Docker requirements for image installation. After installation is complete, the required space is reduced to 80 GiB. Memory 16 GiB RAM NOTE: 32 GiB RAM is highly recommended for an environment where Intelligent Storage Manager manages 20 or more storage systems.
