We have installed NV V5 and the full Nways suite a couple of times now
on 43P 240's, with 768 Mb of RAM and 4.5Gb of disk. So far we have
small NetView databases - <1000 nodes. We have cut down the AIX install
and have ~ 1Gb of disk free but for your size database, I would put in
more than 4.5Gb. With 768Mb of RAM we are not seeing any significant
paging but again, you have a much bigger database. The usual planning
info on NetView sizing should apply - the Install Guide formula sez:
Server mem in Mb = (42 + 5.6 * Kobjects) + GUIOps * (12 + 2.5 *
Kobjects)
for 80K objects and 1 GUI, I make that 702Mb just for NetView (whereas
our value for, say 1000 nodes or 3K IP objects would be 78.3Mb). That
would give you a huge memory requirement! Don't forget to allow double
RAM for your pagespace disk.

I believe ReMon has it's own database structure .
