• Disk space
— 14-15 MB (Installation files only)
— 200 MB in the VCRM installation drive for temporary ProLiant or Integrity Support
Pack extraction
— 2 GB for the repository. This must be on a local, writeable drive.
• System memory
— 256 MB for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
IMPORTANT: The disk space requirements previously mentioned are specific to the installation
of the VCRM. The size of the repository depends on the files contained in the repository directory.
Each ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack executable, which is downloaded automatically if the
Auto Update feature is enabled, is approximately 100 MB in size and extracts to approximately
200 MB in size. If you are downloading multiple ProLiant or Integrity Support Packs, then you
can multiply this size by the number of ProLiant or Integrity Support Packs you are downloading
in your repository to determine how much disk space is required.
