Disk Space


New Installation	Upgrade
The disk where you are installing Spectrum™ Technology Platform must have 4 GB of free space to install all modules, less if installing fewer modules. The disk where the temp folder is located must have at least 10 GB of free space for the installation to extract the files it needs. You may need more depending on the options you are installing. If necessary, modify your TEMP environment variable (Windows) or IATEMPDIR environment variable (Unix and Linux) to point to a location with enough space.	Upgrade memory requirement - You must have a minimum of 8GB of RAM to run the upgrade to release 2019.1. The disk where you are installing Spectrum™ Technology Platform must have free disk space equal to three times the size of your current installation. To determine the size of your current installation, look at the size of the folder where you installed Spectrum™ Technology Platform. If you are adding modules as part of your upgrade, you will need 3 GB to install all modules, less if installing fewer modules. The disk where the temp folder is located must have 10 GB of free space plus four times the size of your current installation. For example, if your current installation is 5 GB, you would need 30 GB of temp space: (4 x 5 GB) + 10 GB = 30 GB. If necessary, modify your TEMP environment variable (Windows) or IATEMPDIR environment variable (Unix and Linux) to point to a location with enough space.

Note: If you are installing a module that uses a reference database, such as a postal database, geocoding database, or data normalization tables, you will need space for this data. The total disk space varies, depending on which modules and databases you are installing.

Memory

Upgrade memory requirement - You must have a minimum of 8GB of RAM to run the upgrade to release 2019.1.
Basic memory requirement: 16 GB
The Data Normalization Module and Universal Name Module require additional memory if you use these name databases:
- Arabic Plus Pack: 5.5 GB
- Asian Plus Pack - Chinese: 32 MB
- Asian Plus Pack - Japanese: 1.6 GB
- Asian Plus Pack - Korean: 8 MB
- Core Names: 1.1 GB
The memory allocation for the Machine Learning Module should be three to four times the size of the input file used in jobs where models are created. We recommend that the minimum memory setting should be at least 1 GB. After installation of this release, configure minimum and maximum memory settings for the Machine Learning Module on the Configuration Settings tab of the Machine Learning Model Management application.

Additional Requirements

For all Unix and Linux systems, a minimum value for file descriptors is required. Review the current Installation Guide for recommended settings. This can be set by running the ulimit command: ulimit –n limitsetting
Note: Do not set ulimit to unlimited. Doing so may cause issues with system resources and security alerts that will cause the installation to fail.
Set the file size limit to 2 GB. To set the file size limit, use the ulimit command: ulimit -f 4194304
For CentOS and Ubuntu, you must increase the maximum number of memory map areas. To do this, open the /etc/sysctl.conf file and set vm.max_map_count to 262144. Then, reboot the system. and run sysctl vm.max_map_count to verify that the setting has been updated.
For IBM AIX only, you must download and install two different distributions of the JDK:
- First, you must download and install the 64-bit version of Java 8 before installing Spectrum™ Technology Platform. If you do not have Java 8 installed, download and install it from:
  www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/service.html
- Also, download and apply the the AdoptOpenJDK 64-bit version, before installing Spectrum™ Technology Platform. If you do not have this JDK, download and install it from:
  AdoptOpenJDK
For IBM AIX only, with IBM JDK/JRE, you must apply the properties in spectrum.https.encryption.excludeCipherSuites. See Configure HTTP or HTTPS in the Spectrum Administration Guide for details.
Windows administrator rights are required to install .
In order to use the enhanced system tray notification application the server must have .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (also known as 3.5.1) or higher. Current versions of Windows Server come with the required version of .NET Framework.

System Requirements for Enterprise Geocoding and Global Geocoding modules

The Enterprise Geocoding Module and Global Geocoding Module system requirements:
- minimum: 16 GB RAM, 4 CPU, 100 GB storage
- recommended 32 GB RAM, 8 CPU, 200 GB storage, sufficient for all datasets.

The amount of RAM will depend on how many users are on the system and how many datasets are loaded.

Requirements for the Big Data Integration Module

For the stages using Hadoop, which are Read from Hive File, Read from Hadoop Sequence, Write to Hadoop Sequence, and Write to Hive File, and for the activities Run Hadoop MapReduce Job and Run Hadoop Pig:

Hadoop version 2.6 and above

For the activities using Spark, which are Submit Spark Job and Spark Sorter:

Spark 2.0.1 and above.
