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. For details, refer to: Changing the Elasticsearch memory setting CPU 4 vCPUs A client computer that can run a supported browser At least one of the following: • Internet Explorer 11 (and only certain minor versions of IE: 18537, 163841S) or later • Firefox 31.3.0 ESR, 34.0.5, or later • Chrome v38.0.2125.122 or later Verify that Intelligent Storage Manager ports do not overlap with those used by other programs in your environment.
