After deleting temp files, I have 1G of HD space left.  I can delete more 
discovery files also, however aren't these files going to regenerate again when 
I run a synchronization? I noticed files are continually created on our 
application server by discovery. Our Management believes every application 
server should be low disk space.  They recently increased the hard drive space 
to 16G (which they thought was a "favor").  I am trying to find out more info 
about the Discovery allocation of space, so that I can explain WHY we need more 
space to my Management.  To me it's quite simple - 16G is ridiculous, but I 
can't use that for an argument.

Seriously, upon what are Management's beliefs based? This seems like an 
arbitrary limitation. That being said, there are probably some old discovery 
files you could delete to free up some space. 

Maybe ask them how much history they want you to store. That way, they can 
choose between some cheap disk space and what may be more valuable data. And 
since their decision will have been an informed one, they are responsible for 
it.

Hi All,
 
We have 16G on our Application Server.  Our Application Server runs Discovery 
1.6.
Our database is remote.  We have right now 1G of space left.
Our Management believes there is no reason why 16G is not sufficient space for 
this Discovery application to run parallel with other applications.
 
We have other applications running on this server like HP Openview, SQL Server, 
VMware, etc...
 
I noticed when Discovery runs (during synchronization) files are created also 
on the application server (i.e. java files, tmp files, etc..).  And if logging 
is on, then files are created also.
 
Is 16G an reasonable size to run Discovery 1.6?
