Do you have a rule of thumb concerning sizing?

For small and medium sized companies, there is no need to set up a high-end server if it is only used for the SAP Solution Manager and its monitoring functions. A small/medium-sized server is sufficient. However, this is dependent on your needs and future plans. The following sizing proposal is based on a standalone server with SAP Solution Manager only.

• For basic setup: 1 CPU current standard (min. 1 GHz), 1GB RAM, 50 GB hard disk space

• For advanced setup: 2 CPUs current standard (min. 1 GHz), 2 GB RAM, 50 GB hard disk space

The basic setup of SAP Solution Manager is defined as only having SAP EarlyWatch Alert and service level reporting, configured on the satellite systems and up to 5 users working at the same time on the SAP Solution Manager.

The advanced setup of the SAP Solution Manager requires additional steps after the basic setup is complete. The advanced features cover the configuration of system monitoring and/or business process monitoring.
