DPA version 18.1
Chapter 1: DPA version 18.1

Compatibility for DPA 18.1 is explained in this section.
This section contains the following topics:
 Installation requirements
 Software compatibility
 Hardware compatibility
 Replication Analysis

DPA version 18.1
Installation requirements
DPA Server platforms
Minimal memory requirements
 16 GB RAM/4 cores for the DPA Datastore server
 16 GB RAM/4 cores for the DPA Application Server
Minimal Hard Disk Drive requirements:
 20 GB of locally attached disk storage for the Application server
 30 GB of locally attached disk storage for the Datastore Server
 5GB of free space are required for database upgrade
Co-located Application and Datastore systems are not supported in production systems. Although the
installer provides a co-located system option, when it is selected, a dialogue stating that it is not
supported in a production systems displays.
 Storage size requirement for Datastore is highly dependent on expected data collection and retention
rates.
 The DPA Application server and DPA Datastore servers must not be used to run other applications.
The DPA Application server host and DPA Datastore server host resources must be dedicated to
DPA.
 If running DPA in a virtualized environment the allocated CPU and memory must be reserved for the
DPA servers
 The DPA installer has a free space soft threshold of 7892 MB and a hard threshold of 5844 MB. The
soft threshold allows the installation to continue, but the hard threshold does not.
 Automatic sizing and tuning of internal DPA resource usage takes place during installation. If
resources (CPU, Memory) are taken away from the installation by other applications performance of
DPA could be adversely affected.
