The minimum configuration for a Locator server
For sizing suggestions, please see the tables at the end of this article.
| Fresh Installation | Upgrade | |
| # CPU Cores | 4 | 4 |
| RAM (GB) | 16 | 16 |
| Available Disk space (GB) - System Drive | 5 | 5 |
| Available Disk space (GB) - Program Files | 2 | 2 |
| Available Disk space (GB) - Program Data | 60 | 5 |
NOTE: These are the minimum required server specifications to install Locator and are only sufficient for very small installations. The majority of installations will require higher specifications.
The disk space requirements, shown in bold, are absolute required minimums. The installation will not proceed if these are not met. For CPU and memory, the system will display a warning message if the actual values are below these minimums, but the installation will allow you to continue. However, poor performance and database timeouts can result from a configuration that has too little memory, or too few CPU cores.
ayfie also recommends designating the Locator Program Data to install on a dedicated disk drive, different from the drive on which the OS is installed.
The recommended configuration will depend upon the customer's environment. To determine the appropriate configuration, one must consider the two different periods of Locator indexing: Initial indexing, and Incremental indexing.
