HP Toptools for Unicenter User Guide
1.2.5 Disk Space Usage
Approximately 5 MB on the Unicenter system, 1 MB on the Toptools system. The 1 MB on the Toptools system is
in addition to the disk space required for the Toptools installation. Refer to the Toptools documentation for
additional information on Toptools requirements.
1.2.6 Memory Requirements
HP Toptools for Unicenter uses approximately 4 MB of memory in background processes on the Unicenter system,
and approximately 2 MB of memory on the Toptools server. If both Unicenter and Toptools are installed on the
same system along with the bridge, the system should have a minimum of 196 MB. (It is recommended that two
separate systems be used.)
1.2.7 Processor Requirements
The requirements for the bridge are the same as the requirements for Unicenter and Toptools. If Unicenter and
Toptools are installed on the same system, a minimum of a 300 MHz Pentium is suggested for adequate
performance.
1.2.8 Single System Installation
HP Toptools and CA Unicenter may be installed on the same system.
1. Make sure the system has enough memory for both programs. A minimum of 256 MB of memory is required,
with higher amounts recommended. Beyond the disk space requirements of Unicenter and Toptools, an
additional 10MB of disk space is required for HP Toptools for Unicenter bridge components.
2. Install Microsoft SQL Server and Unicenter first as the Toptools server installation will update the Data Access
Components.

The following are REQUIREMENTS for a supported single system installation on Windows NT (not required for
Windows 2000):
4. Remove the SNMP services.
