GTPP Storage Server Overview
System Requirements and Recommendations â–€
Cisco ASR 5000 Series Product Overview â–„
Used by the GSS Server for communication with the GSN.
Used by the GSS FileGen with the GSS.
Used by the Postgres Client.
This is the SSH port used by mediation system to access generated data files for further processing.
This is the FTP port used access generated data files for further processing.
Ports used in cluster mode
This is the CRNP server port used by solaris system to gather system resource information.
This is the CRNP client port used by GSS to receive system resource information from CRNP server to generate
alarms if any.
GSS Hardware Sizing and Provisioning Guidelines
In addition to the minimum system requirements indicated in the Minimum System Requirements for Stand-alone
Deployment and Minimum System Requirements for Cluster Deployment sections, the following section offers
information that can help you to plan hardware sizing needs, based on the exact deployment scenario that you are using.
Hard Drive Partition Recommendations
Following is the partition scheme required for GSS application:
Root partition (/) should be at least 15 gigabyte (GB).
The swap partitions (/tmp, /var/run) should be at least 3 GB.
/globaldevices should be at least 1 GB - This is applicable for Cluster mode only.
/opt should be at least 10 GB
/export/home should be the partition used for GSS and PostgreSQL.
In Stand-alone mode this partition should have at least 20 GB free disk space to allow for longer-term
storage of the CDR files and other archived databases.
In case of Cluster mode installation PostgreSQL and CDR storage will be on /shareddisk for all cluster
node hence may not require 20 GB free disk space.
A typical CDR can be 200 Bytes in size. Based on this, the approximate file size with 4 Million CDRs
per hour and backup for 2 days, the formula used to calculate the amount of space needed to backup
this information is:
200 X (#_of_CDR_per_hour) X 48 X 1.5 = Backup space on Hard disk in Bytes.
