- http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/sysreqs/default.mspx
- ~60MB free disk space available, if you are installing MSDE
- Note: MSDE is a free Microsoft database with a 2.0GB data limit, making it a viable option for testing the database functionality in small environments. MSDE can be upgraded to SQL Server at any time without any data loss.
- Sufficient disk space for collected data:
- Disk usage per system: ~3MB of database space per system per collection
- Note: Microsoft requires twice the database size available for the transaction log during delete actions.
Oracle
- Oracle Database (9i, 10g, 11g Standard, Enterprise or Express edition) for the data repository
- Oracle Database 10 G Express Edition is a free to deploy small-footprint (~120MB) entry-level database with a 4Gb data space limitation, available at:
- http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102 xewinsoft.html
- Sufficient free disk space for collected data:
- ~80MB of server disk space per Auditor module for the pre-created database objects
- ~3MB of server disk space per system per collection
- Oracle client software supplied with the server distribution must be installed on the Auditor console with Oracle Network Utilities and Oracle Call Interface options turned on. The latest versions of Oracle ODBC drivers are also available at:
