Estimating the space needed for the HCL Traveler database
You can estimate how much space is needed for the HCL Traveler database before it is installed.
HCL Traveler uses a relational database to store configuration settings as well as meta-data for
sync engine operation. By default, HCL Traveler uses a Derby database which is located in the
<Domino Data>\traveler\ntsdb
directory. If HCL Traveler has been configured
to use an enterprise database, then the Derby database in the directory previously listed is not
used.
U * (D * (700 * V + 4000)) = Recommended DB space available in bytes
where
U = number of users
D = number of documents per user (a document is a mail message, a contact, a calendar entry, etc...)
V = number of devices per user
This equation applies when estimating the space needed for a local Derby database or for an enterprise database used for HCL Traveler. The equation also intentionally overestimates the size to ensure adequate space for the HCL Traveler database.
- An HCL Traveler server database servicing 1,000 users with 5,000 documents per user and 1.5 devices per user should allow for 25GB of database space.
- An HCL Traveler server database servicing 3,000 users with 10,000 documents per user and 1.25 devices per user should allow for 146GB of database space.
