  1. 1 The swap value should equal two times the physical RAM for up to 2 gigabytes (GB) of physical RAM, and then one times the physical RAM for any amount above 2GB. For example, a system with 2GB of physical RAM would have 4GB of swap, while a system with 3GB of physical RAM would have 5GB of swap.

  1. 2 The /opt partition is used to store the Network Configuration Manager Application data as well as 8 data backups. Large installations may need as much as 200 GB of disk space depending on the amount of historic information retained in the database.
