For the best performance, run IBM WebSphere InterChange Server (ICS) on a
dedicated system. The system should have restricted access to maintain
security.
Table 1 lists the minimum hardware requirements. However, the
actual requirements for your system may be greater, depending on the
complexity of your specific ICS environment, throughput, and data object
size. The following information is for the ICS system only. If
you run other applications on the same system, make appropriate
adjustments.
Table 1. Hardware Requirements
Component
| Minimum required
|
Processor
| Pentium III @ 1 GHz
|
Memory
| 512 MB
|
Disk space: InterChange Server and supporting software
| 20 GB
|
InterChange Server databases
|
- Repository 300-500 MB
- Rollback 500 MB
- Temporary 500 MB
|
Additional high-availability requirements
|
- Microsoft certified cluster machine
- Shared disk subsystem with RAID
|
HA |
---|
WBI Server components must be set up to run as Windows services in a
high-availability environment.
Each machine in the cluster must meet the following requirements in
addition to those listed in Table 1:
-
Microsoft-certified cluster machine--Each machine in the
cluster must be a Microsoft certified cluster machine. To view a list
of Microsoft certified cluster machines, go to http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/default.asp,
select Cluster, then click Search Now.
-
Shared disk subsystem with RAID (redundant arrays of independent
disks) --All systems in the cluster must share a disk
subsystem. For best performance, the level of redundancy is RAID 0, but
RAID 1 is also acceptable.
