Required disk space

Determine the disk space required to install WebSphere Process Server and related products, on your platform. The directories given are the default installation directories for the various products.

Draft comment:
Do the values in this document still hold for 6.0.2?
To review WebSphere Process Server detailed system requirements, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27006205 and select the link to your version of WebSphere Process Server. If there is a conflict between the information provided in this topic and the information on the detailed system requirements Web pages, the information on the Web pages takes precedence. The information in this topic is provided as a convenience only.

Required disk space on AIX platforms

Draft comment:
How do you want to cover the Client?
Manually verify that the required space for creating a profile is available. A known problem in the underlying InstallShield for Multiplatforms (ISMP) code prevents proper space checking on AIX systems.

WebSphere Process Server requires the following disk space:
1795 MB for the install_root directory, including 1480 MB for the installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment before creating profiles

The installation root directory includes the core product files, Sample applications gallery, and Public API Javadoc(TM). This size does not include space for the deprecated features, profiles, or applications. Profiles require 60 MB of temp space in addition to the sizes shown. Profiles have the following space requirements:

73 MB for a deployment manager profile

This size does not include space for applications that you might deploy or nodes that you might federate to this deployment manager.

248 MB for a stand-alone process server profile with the Sample applications and the sample Business Process Choreographer container

This size does not include space for applications that you might develop and install.

53 MB for an unfederated custom profile

This size does not include space for applications that you might develop and install. The requirement does include space for the nodeagent. However, you must federate a custom profile to create an operational managed node.

After federating a custom profile, the resulting managed node contains a functional nodeagent only. Use the deployment manager to create server processes on the managed node.

60 MB temporary space for profile creation
This space must be provided in addition to the profile sizes listed above. An error can occur during profile creation if you do not provide enough system temporary space.
600 MB for the /tmp directory
The temporary directory is the working directory for the installation program. The actual space required for the /tmp directory can vary, as follows:
  • If you elect to silently install a new instance of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment during installation of WebSphere Process Server, a total of 600 MB of temporary space is required.
  • If you install WebSphere Process Server over an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, and the existing installation requires fixes or features added to it, a total of 600 MB of temporary space is required.
  • If you install WebSphere Process Server over an existing installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, and the existing installation is at the supported maintenance level, little or no temporary space is required.
2395 MB total requirement

This amount is the total space requirement when installing the product from the CD and when not installing service (Fix Packs, service packs, refresh packs, etc.). Installing profiles requires more space.

The following space is required for the IBM HTTP Server product:

110 MB for the /usr/IBM/HTTPServer/Plugins directory

Draft comment:
I was told to go with what WAS has, but this directory still looks odd for the Web server.
The IBM HTTP Server product requires this space.

35 MB for the /usr/ibm/gsk7 directory

The IBM Global Security Kit requires this space. The runtime module is gskkm.rte.

The following space is the maximum amount that is required for the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment:
200 MB for the /usr/IBM/WebSphere/plugins directory

The Web server plug-ins require this disk space.

25 MB for the /usr/ibm/gsk7 directory

The IBM Global Security Kit requires this space.

The following space is required for the WebSphere Application Server Clients:
150 MB for the /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppClient directory

The amount of space required to install the application clients is actually less than 150 MB. The amount of space depends on the clients that you install as features.

The Installation Wizard for each component displays required space on the confirmation panel before you install the product files and selected features. The Installation Wizard also warns you if you do not have enough space to install the product.
