AIX

The hardware requirements to run the Deploy components on the AIX operating system are as follows:


Hardware	Components	Requirement
Disk space	Agent Command-line client Relay Server	Minimum of 2 GB.
Memory	Agent	Minimum of 2 GB.
Memory	Command-line client Relay Server	Java Heap requirements: A minimum of 2 GB is required for evaluation purposes, such as a proof of concept (POC) instance or a small demo environment. The Xmx setting must be increased for production purposes as follows: <500 agents: ~4 GB 500-5000 agents: ~13 GB 5000-15000 agents: ~24 GB Native memory: The minimum required memory is 4 GB for POC, 8 GB for production, for the additional memory required beyond the Java Heap.
Network: adapters, drivers, protocols	Agent Command-line client Relay Server	Gigabit (1000) Ethernet with low-latency to the database.
Processor	Command-line client Relay Server	The server requires approximately double the CPU capacity of a relay. So, given the number of agents (800) and 2 cores per 500 agents on the relay, use an 8-core machine available for the server.
Processor	Agent	2-Core processor For z/OS: Deploy agents for z/OS runs on HCL System zEnterprise EC12 or zEnterprise BC12 machines and later that versions support the required z/OS operating system.
Product specific	Command-line client Relay Server	Agent relay minimum system requirements. Without artifact caching: HDD - 2 GB CPU - 2 RAM - 2 GB With artifact caching, use the formula: HDD - 2GB + the cache size *2
Storage hardware	Command-line client Relay Server	Individual requirements depend on usage, retention policies, and application types. In general, the larger the number of artifacts kept in Deploy's artifact repository (CodeStation), the more storage is required. Note: CodeStation is installed when the Deploy server is installed. For production environments, you must use the following guidelines to determine storage requirements: 200-400 GB of database storage is typically sufficient for most environments. To calculate CodeStation storage requirements, use the following formula: average artifact size * number of versions imported per day * average number of days before cleanup Approximately 1 MB per deployment of database storage; varies based on local requirements.

Note: The AIX hardware requirement applies to all supported AIX operating systems.
