I take it your present box performs well for you, and they want to regain
the excess capacity, or you would not be asking. I think I would not be
going too far out on a limb to say the less-capable box will work, if you
are supporting only one user, occasionally two; and if I were you I would
use the improvements in V6 to reduce your discovered databases to
just what you are managing. That will help with the memory usage.
Were you planning to run a large number of web clients? That might
put you over the edge cpu-wise.
It may be a little tight at startup. Will they let you try it and change
your
mind if it does not run well?
Cordially,

Subject: [NV-L] Netview sizing
We are presently running Netview (4.x) on a 7043-140 (332PPC) 576M RAM. We
have
about 4000 objects in our database, but are only managing about 200. We
have no
other products installed except for an Apache web server for serving
network
stats.
The boss wants to use the 140 for another system, and has offered a
7043-240
single processor (166) with the same RAM configuration for a replacement.
Will the 240 handle the newest versions of Netview (5.x, 6.x)? I'm
concerned
about the web capabilities of the newer versions increasing the load,
specifically about having to run Java on a less capable platform.
