Basic disk partitioning (Linux)

The following information is provided as a recommendation for your Network Configuration Manager server disk partitioning scheme. This example assumes that you are installing the product on the /opt partition. If you are installing on a different partition, refer to the /opt partition size requirements when sizing that partition.

Mount point	File system	Size
Linux	Linux	Linux
/boot	ext3	100 MB
-	<swap>	11
/var	ext3	16000 MB
/	ext3	10000 MB
/tmp	ext3	4000 MB
/opt	ext3	40000 - 200000 MB22
/usr	ext3	4000 MB
	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.
	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.
