Main and additional Windows server space requirements

This worksheet describes how to allocate space for your main and additional Windows server installations.

INSTALLATION AREA MINIMUM CONFIGURATION
Separate programs and data for your installation as follows:
1) install Rational Synergy software into one directory, 2) install the Rational Synergy databases into another directory when you unpack a database, 3) install the database server chunk files into a different directory.

This example shows three drives and directories for a main installation:

1. C:\Program Files\IBM Rational\Synergy\7.2x

2. E:\ccmdb

(Rational Synergy database directory on an NTFS file system partition)

3. F:\ifmxdata

(includes database server chunk files (rootdbs, tempdbs, log, and ccm) on a local NTFS file system partition. For more information, see Disk space considerations).

Note: Directories 2 and 3 have the greatest growth potential. Plan for this growth by completing this worksheet before you install a main or additional server.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS EXAMPLE
System with Rational Synergy installed:

Rational Synergy main server installation area: 3 GB (executable files)

informix_chunkfiles: 220 MB (40 users)

ccmdb area (might be much larger, depending
on the size of projects in database): 100 MB

minimum total of 3.32 GB

MINIMUM SPACE CONFIGURATION
1. Rational Synergy installation (executable files): 630 MB

2. informix_chunkfiles (data files):

Installation default (based on an average of 5 MB per user)

40 users (default): 220 MB __________ MB

3. ccmdb:
Rational Synergy databases expand as users migrate or create new data in them.
Therefore, plan for disk space growth in the ccmdb file system location.

The ccmdb file system must be on a shared NTFS file system.

Per database: minimum 220 MB

TOTAL: ________ MB
