The minimum memory required is 12 GB. 16 GB is required if you are using data deduplication. At least 32 GB is needed for heavily used servers. Using 32 GB or more of memory enhances performance of the Tivoli® Storage Manager server database inventory.

If you plan to run multiple instances, each instance requires the memory listed for one server. Multiply the memory for one server by the number of instances planned for the system.

Node replication processing requires additional memory. Use a minimum of 32 GB of memory for node replication without data deduplication. Node replication with data deduplication requires a minimum of 64 GB of memory. You will require an active log at least 64 GB in size to run replication. If replication and deduplication are both being used, an active log at least 128 GB in size is required.
