The following sections lists the requirements for the database computers. This section assumes that you will install the databases on separate computers.
For the most recent recommendations, see the NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager Technical Information web page.
To estimate the potential size of the Secure Configuration Manager database, use the following calculation:
security checks x endpoints x policy templates x (1440/timeframe) x 0.000004
where
Represents the total number of security checks in the policy templates scheduled to run in the timeframe
Represents the number endpoints that will be assessed in the timeframe
Represents the number of jobs with policy templates scheduled to run in the timeframe
Represents the total number of minutes during which you will run the assessments
This calculation assumes that you have 500 to 1,000 endpoints.
