Memory Requirements The minimum supported memory for installation of NAS Client 150 for OpenVMS VAX Workstations, with all components and subcomponents in- stalled is 32 MB. The performance and memory usage of NAS Client 150 for OpenVMS VAX and applications based on it are particularly sensitive to system config- uration. Full configuration of all subcomponents may require memory in excess of the minimum quoted above. Additional memory may also be required based on system loading and usage patterns of the components. 4 More or less memory may be required depending on whether clients and servers execute on the same system or on different systems. Additional memory may also improve performance of one or more components. Refer to the component SPDs and installation guides for detailed in- formation about memory usage by components and subcomponents of the NAS Client 150 for OpenVMS VAX. Disk Space Requirements When installing the complete set of components of NAS Client 150 for OpenVMS VAX, customers must have a minimum of 260 MB of disk space avail- able. This count refers to the disk space required on the system disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending on the customer's system environment, configuration, and software options. For example, actual disk space required may be less if the customer does not in- stall some components or subcomponents. Customers may require addi- tional disk space to create or expand component databases or to cre- ate user files.
