NOTE
It is recommended that you add an additional 100 GB of disk space if you use sFlow.
NOTE
If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the Network Advisor server as the Upload Failure
Data Capture location for monitored switches, then additional disk space will be required. Each
switch supportSave file is approximately 5 MB and each Upload Failure Data Capture file is
approximately 500 KB. To determine the disk space requirements, multiply the frequency of
scheduled supportSave files by 5 MB and the expected Upload Failure Data Capture files by 500 KB
before the planned periodic purge activity.
