Because the Oracel database is not supported on a Virtual Machine we are going to perform a 3-tier installation.
That said, I need to provide our DBA's disk space requirement for the Enforce Database. According to te Oracle Database Requirement section of the Symantec_DLP_11.1_System_Requirements_Guidle.PDF pages 25-27 the minimum system requirements:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5 Update 2, or later version of 5.x (32-bit or 64-bit)
■ 6 GB of RAM
■ 6 GB of swap space (equal to RAM)
■ 500 GB – 1 TB of disk space for the Enforce database
On a Linux system, if the Oracle database is on the same computer as the Enforce Server, then the /opt file system must have at least 500 GB of free space for small or medium installations. 1 TB of free space is required for large or very large installations. If Oracle is installed on a different computer from the Enforce Server, then the /opt file system must have at least 10 GB of free space, and the /boot file system must have at least 100 MB of free space.
The exact amount of disk space that is required for the Enforce database depends on variables such as:
■ The number of policies you plan to initially deploy
■ The number of policies you plan to add over time
■ The number and size of attachments you want to store (if you decide to store attachments with related incidents)
■ The length of time you intend to store incidents
For us, all of our physical Oracle installs are on AIX, and I don't see that listed as supported.
Also, 500GB to 1TB for the database seems very large.
Could someone provide some insight into how you have implemented DLP - Storage across two-data centers with ~a petabyte of data? and if AIX is supported?
TIA,
