Network Configuration Manager 9.3 can support up to 50,000 devices in a single deployment. 12 EMC Smarts Network Configuration Manager Support Matrix

13 System Requirements To increase performance of Network Configuration Manager environments with a high number of device changes, it is advisable to setup Network Configuration Manager using a larger sizing setup than is required. For example, if a large number of device changes will occur on a 500 device environment, use the 5K device sizing requirements when you setup your Network Configuration Manager environment. Basic disk partitioning (Linux) The following information is provided as a recommendation for your Network Configuration Manager server disk partitioning scheme. This example assumes that you are installing the product on the /opt partition. If you are installing on a different partition, refer to the /opt partition size requirements when sizing that partition. Mount point File system Size Linux Linux Linux /boot ext3 100 MB - <swap> 1 /var ext MB / ext MB /tmp ext MB /opt ext MB 2 /usr ext MB 1. The swap value should equal two times the physical RAM for up to 2 gigabytes (GB) of physical RAM, and then one times the physical RAM for any amount above 2GB. For example, a system with 2GB of physical RAM would have 4GB of swap, while a system with 3GB of physical RAM would have 5GB of swap. 2. The /opt partition is used to store the Network Configuration Manager application data as well as 8 data backups. Large installations may need as much as 200 GB of disk space depending on the amount of historic information retained in the database. Advanced disk partitioning In large Network Configuration Manager configurations, you may receive performance benefits from placing the database on its own dedicated disks. The database is located under [Product directory]/db. For example, if you have 6 disks in the system, you could allocate 2 disks in RAID1 for the OS and application and allocate 4 disks in RAID5 for the database. If you have 10 disks or more, you may also separate the database and the database transaction log so that they reside on their own dedicated disks. The database transaction log is located under [Product directory]/db/controldb/data/pg_xlog. For example, if you have 10 disks in the system, you could allocate 2 disks in RAID1 for the OS and application, 6 disks in RAID5 for the database, and 2 disks in RAID1 for the database transaction log. Basic disk partitioning (Linux) 13

14 System Requirements Compatibility Upgrading to Network Configuration Manager 9.3 will make previous versions of Advisors and Adapters inoperable until a compatible release is installed. The compatible versions for Network Configuration Manager 9.3: Integration Adapters 9.3 Report Advisor (RA), Network Advisor (NA), and Compliance Advisor (CA) has been replaced with EMC M&R (Watch4net) in Network Configuration Manager version 9.3. If you perform a fresh or a new installation of NCM 9.3, the advisor pages and tabs will not be visible. If you migrate or upgrade from Network Configuration Manager x or NCM 9.x.x and want to use the RA, NA or CA, you have to first migrate or upgrade to NCM 9.2.2a, and then while upgrading to NCM 9.3 choose the Retain RA option. You can also install NCM 9.2.2a Advisors over a new installation of NCM 9.3. Detailed procedures are available in the EMC Smarts Network Configuration Manager Installation and Configuration Guide. Network Configuration Manager Integration Modules Interoperability After upgrading to Network Configuration Manager 9.3, you do not have to uninstall SNMP, Mail, and/or Flatfile Integration modules. You can use the existing customizations of the SNMP, Mail, and/or Flatfile Integration modules with Network Configuration Manager 9.3. Service Assurance Suite components interoperate as described here: Table 1 Interoperability among Service Assurnace Suite components Product Version ACM 2.3, 2.4 ASAM EMC M&R (Watch4net) ESM IP 3.2.x 6.4.x (If EMC M&R and SolutionPack for EMC Smarts are used to manage notifications, you must use SAM 9.3.x with Notification Cache. 6.4.x provides the latest version of the SolutionPack for Network Configuration Manager. 9.1, 9.2.x 8.1.4, 9.1, 9.2.x MCAST MPLS 8.1.4, 9.1, 9.2.x 14 EMC Smarts Network Configuration Manager Support Matrix

Instead, use EMC M&R (Watch4net) and the SolutionPack for Network Configuration Manager to generate NCM reports. For customers with legacy NCM deployments, you may upgrade to 9.2.2a and use the Report Advisor with a 9.3.x NCM deployment.

Strawberry-perl bit: Visit the Strawberry Perl website to download a copy of Strawberry-perl bit. After installing Strawberry perl for the first time, you must logout and then re-login so that the system PATH variable modification can take effect. Microsoft Visual C SP1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update Microsoft Visual C SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) Configuration requirements Page File Size Network Configuration Manager requires a minimum page file size of 2000 MB for all server types. Ensure that when you use ping -a <IP address> command in the console, it returns the FQDN. This is essential for Network Configuration Manager Application communication with remote servers. 18 EMC Smarts Network Configuration Manager Support Matrix

19 Software requirements for Windows Software installed with Network Configuration Manager The following software is installed automatically with Network Configuration Manager for all Combination and Application servers. JBoss 5.2 The following software is installed automatically with Network Configuration Manager for all Combination, Application and Remote Database servers. PostgreSQL bit The following softwares are installed automatically with Network Configuration Manager for all Combination, Application, Device, and Report Servers. Apache HTTP Server 2.2 Apache HTTP Server 2.2 is included with the Network Configuration Manager distribution. Network Configuration Manager will automatically install httpd win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8t.msi. It is recommended to setup Apache as a service on Port 80, and select the Typical setup type when installing Apache HTTP Server 2.2. Apache Tomcat Network Configuration Manager will automatically install apache-tomcat exe. It is recommended to set the Connector Port to 8080, and select either the Minimal or Normal setup type when installing Tomcat Username and password fields are optional. It is recommended to use a directory path that does not contain spaces (for example, C:\Tomcat6) when installing Tomcat on Windows. Do not manually install Tomcat prior to installing Advisors. This causes errors during installation. The following software is installed automatically with Network Configuration Manager for all Combination, Application, Device, Report, and Remote Database servers. Java SE Development Kit 7, 64-bit Network Configuration Manager will automatically install jdk-7u45-windows-x64.exe if it is not already present in the system.

20 Software requirements for Windows OpenSSL v0.9.8r Win32OpenSSL-0_9_8r.exe It is recommended to accept the default directory (C:\OpenSSL) when installing OpenSSL on Windows. If a directory whose path contains spaces is used, the creation of the certificates will fail. When the install.pl script is run to install OpenSSL for Windows, the following warning message appears: The Win32 OpenSSL Installation Project setup has detected that a Command Prompt is currently running. Win32 OpenSSL will not work properly from already opened Command Prompts. It is highly recommended that you close all open Command Prompts before clicking Ok to continue. It is safe to click Ok when this message is displayed. Do not close the Network Configuration Manager installation window. For details about upgrading OpenSSL on Windows, see the EMC Smarts Network Configuration Manager Security Configuration Guide. 20 EMC Smarts Network Configuration Manager Support Matrix
