To estimate the disk-space requirement for a database, make a copy of Table 247 or use a separate sheet of paper as a worksheet for one database. If multiple databases are on a server, repeat this process for each database. Write the name of the database on the worksheet.
Each row of this worksheet refers to a section that describes how to size that component. Perform each calculation and write the results in the appropriate cell in the Size column. The calculations use the factors that you wrote in Table 244, Worksheet: List of Factors That Affect Disk Space Requirements of a Database.
Table 247. Worksheet: Estimate of Disk Requirements for a Database
DE + DF + DG + DH | |
Linked Reporting Objects Considerations, if needed | |
Total disk space required for the database: DI + DJ Write the name of this database and the total disk space required in Table 248, Worksheet: Estimate of Total Server Disk Space Requirement, which is a worksheet for determining the disk space requirement for all databases on the server (there are placeholders for seven databases—“a” through “g”). |
Repeat this exercise for each database on the server. After estimating disk space for all databases on the server, proceed to Estimating the Total Essbase Server Disk Space Requirement.
