Base |
Concurrent Users |
Daemons |

| Formula |
256 MB |
+ 6 MB per user |
+ 8 MB per daemon |
= ? |
| Example |
256 MB |
6 x 100 = 600 MB |
8 x 20 = 160 MB |
= 1016 MB |

Patches for UNIX Platforms
Some UNIX platforms require patches before they will run the JRE (version 1.4) as used by Version Manager. See the SupportNet web site https://sos.serena.com/Portal/Logon.asp for more information (Knowledgebase Document 70396).
HP-UX: Recommended Kernel Parameter Settings
Set the following kernel parameters to allow the VM web and file servers to work properly on HP-UX:
IMPORTANT: After setting the kernel parameters, you must rebuild the kernel.
