Issue/Introduction

What are the disk space requirements are for a robot?
 

Environment

- UIM 8.51 or higher

Resolution

Robot disk space requirements (installation and storage)

The robot requires less than 200 MB of free space for installation and storage. 

Robot system resources
A typical robot uses the following system resources: 
CPU: negligible, e.g., less than 1% 
Memory: ~2 MB 

For a robot, the minimum system resource requirements we list besides those in the Platform Support Matrix are: 

- Processor: 2-3 GHz minimum 
- RAM: 2 GB RAM minimum 
- Disk: Minimum 5 MB of free disk space

When you also consider the other probes  mentioned, e.g., 

- hub
- logmon
- processes
- ntevl
- ntservices
- cdm

Disk space requirements will vary. So, we do provide a spreadsheet to help guide customers with estimating storage requirements including QOS and alarms.
