Minimum hard disk reqs for OBIEE 12c on Linux?

Khalid Ibrahim

Hi,

I was wondering what the minimum space requirements for OBIEE 12c are:

For example for OBIEE 11g, the requirements were 20g disk space, available memory of 4gb, Temp space of 950 MB.

Does anybody know the requirements for Linux?

Hi,

What is your target?

The minimum to perform an install is quite low, but if you then want to patch etc. you need a lot more.

So do you look for some papers minimum requirements coming from an Oracle document or you are looking for something else for a different kind of need?

Khalid Ibrahim

Well, the minimum that is required for an enterprise with about 100 users. We'd like it to function properly without hiccups, so planning now for later patches would be sensible.  What do you think would be practical?

Ok, so real PROD server.

Did you have a look at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23104_01/sysreqs1221/sysrs.htm#BABEBFHJ  ?

And https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/BIEIG/GUID-E6545BC6-D0BF-4521-B3E7-160ABBBB6CD3.htm#ASINS325  (which actually point also on the previous link)

Hardware is just one aspect of the complex jigsaw puzzle. You also need to take into account your network, any latency, network traffic etc.

Look ok at this as well - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23104_01/sysreqs1221/sysrs.htm

Yes, I did and the documents talked about 660 mb for weblogic 1.5 g for infrastructure and 1.5 g for the http server, a total of about 3.6 g. Is that the minimum? I thought I was missing something. So, would about 20-30 gb work just fine?

We do plan to have 3 environments but would use our test env for training too so it should be similar to prod.

Thanks Gianni and Joel

Are yours physical servers? vm? network disk? (DAS/NAS)

Honestly disk doesn't cost a lot nowadays and so I guess you can easily give it a bit more (50-75) if you can, knowing it will not be used but at least it's available.

Mainly if you start updating to new versions installing them next to each other it will increase your disk needs.
