I always calculate the paging space on AIX based on the actual memory
on the box. Double the memory unless you have 1GB or more, then the
lower factor will do.
The per-application considerations apply to the amount of real memory.
If you are doing Nways, you will want all of the memory you can justify
buying.
If you have 2GB you will be really happy with the performance of the java
stuff.
Assuming you have a reasonably fast processor.
With just Netview, the requirements go up with the number of devices being
monitored. With Nways the starting level is markedly higher, as noted in
the
recommendations. Those number are for very very small networks.

Subject: Computing Paging Space on Netview Server...
Hello All.
I have a question about how to properly compute the amount of paging space
required for my Netview Server...
Here is what I have installed..
AIX 4.2.1
Netview 5.1 (recommends 128 Mb memory minimum)
Framework 3.6 (?)
Nways 2.0 (recommends 768 Mb of memory)
Each of these applications has its own memory requirements. My questions
are:
1. Can the total memory requirement be determined by simply adding the
memory requirements of each individual application??
2. In terms of paging space, I have been using the formula:
Paging Space (in MB) = 512 + (memory - 256) * 1.25
Does this formula take into consideration all applications, not just
Netview, or is this formula only good for Netview?
Basically, I have 2GB of memory, by the formula then, I should have
2692 Mb of memory, does this sound right?
Basically, when determining paging space, is it based on the amount of
memory you have (i.e. formula) OR the apps you have installed?
Any info appreciated.
Sincerely,
Gord Michaels.
