Hardware requirements
HCL Portal Express requires the following hardware, organized by type of hardware, deployment units or components.
Installable software - Linux
| Hardware | Deployment units | Requirement | Applicable operating systems |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disk Space | Server | Minimum 3 GB free disk space for installation of DX Portal Minimum 2 GB free disk space for installation of WebSphere Application Server Minimum 3 GB free disk space for installation of IBM Installation Manager and the Installation Manager shared directory Minimum 8 GB total free disk space recommended for installation |
All supported Linux operating systems |
| Memory | Server | Physical memory requirements and recommendations for DX Portal or HCL Web Content Manager (or WCM): Under minimal load, DX Portal can function with 4GB of RAM and a remote database. In a production environment, 8GB is an optimal starting point for RAM. Production environments and environments featuring multiple profiles will require more memory. Note: The amount of memory assigned to the INTERACT pool should be set at a minimum of well over 1 GB and a maximum of 100%. If the INTERACT pool cannot be given enough memory, then the database tasks have to be started with SBMJOB so that they run in the *BASE pool. |
