   **  SQL Server  and Oracle are now supported for both Windows and Linux-hosted OO Central Servers.

          Operations Orchestration patch 7.50.01 adds support for Oracle 10g R2 Standard Edition

***   MySQL version 5.1.22+ is recommended for optimal MySQL performance

 

Database Clustering and Replication

HP Operations Orchestration supports MS SQL clustering and Oracle RAC clustering per the database vendor's documentation.    Oracle RAC clustering is only supported on Linux-hosted Oracle db servers.  Operations Orchestration does not currently support database replication for production use.

Minimum System Requirements

 

All Operations Orchestration server components may be hosted on physical servers and/or virtual server images running upon VMware ESX 3.0 and ESX 3.5 hypervisors.  The minimum system requirements for OO servers (physical servers or virtual server images) are as follows:

OO Central Server

 

Component

Requirement per server

CPU

3 GHz

Memory (RAM)

3 GB

Disk Space

4+ GB product footprint

(includes standard OO library content)

 

OO Database Server

 

Component

Requirement per server

CPU

2 GHz  (or as required by the DB vendor's recommendations)

Memory (RAM)

2 GB    (or as required by the DB vendor's recommendations)

Disk Space*

As required by the DB vendor's recommendations

 

*  The OO database accumulates OO flow execution records. 

    It will grow at a rate approximated by the product of flow execution volume and db record size.

Note:  When the OO Central server and database are co-hosted on a single server, add the memory and disk space requirements (e.g. 3GB + 2GB = 5GB RAM total).

Standalone OO RAS Server

 

Component

Requirement per server

CPU

3 GHz

Memory (RAM)

3 GB

Disk Space

500 MB

 

OO Studio Client

 

Component

Requirement per server

CPU

2 GHz

Memory (RAM)

2 GB

Disk Space

2+ GB product footprint

(includes standard OO library content for local repository)

 

Note:  Macromedia Flash Player 8 is required for viewing tutorials within the Studio client.
