Data Vault Requirements

When you install Data Vault, you install the following components:

Data Vault Service: Includes the Data Vault Agent and the Data Vault ODBC driver. You can install the Data Vault Service on the same machine as the ILM Engine.
Data Vault Data Archive Plug-in: You must install the Data Vault Data Archive plug-in on the same machine as the ILM Engine.
Data Vault Administration Tool and SQL Tool: You must install the Data Vault Administration Tool and SQL Tool on a machine with a Windows operating system.

Verify that the machine allocated to host the Data Vault Service meets the system and software requirements.

Server configuration: Verify that the machine has the following configuration:
A 64-bit server.
At minimum, four core processors.
A minimum of 8 GB of RAM.
If you install Data Vault Service on the same machine that hosts the ILM Engine, then the machine must have a minimum of 12 GB of RAM.
A minimum of 20 GB of local storage.
A shared folder, visible to all servers running Data Vault agents, with a size that is equal to 50% of the size of the data that you plan to archive to Data Vault (up to a maximum shared folder size of 500 GB).
The final storage space is equal to 10%-15% of the table data that you plan to archive.
Final storage space can be local or external. External storage options include Hadoop HDFS, NetApp, EMC Centera, EMC Atmos, EMC Data Domain, Hitachi HCP, Storage Area Network (SAN), Network Attached Storage (NAS), Content Addressed Storage (CAS), and DAS.
For guidelines about server sizes for live archive, see Server Guidelines for Archive to Data Vault.
For guidelines about server sizes for application retirement, see Server Guidelines for Retire to Data Vault
Operating system: If you plan to archive or retire data to NAS, use one of the following operating systems:
64-bit AIX 7.1
64-bit AIX 6.1 TL3
64-bit HP-UX 11.31 (11i v3) with a Itanium chip set
64-bit Red Hat Linux 5, 6.1, 6.2 and later with a x64 chip set
64-bit SUSE Linux ES10 or ES11 with a x64 chip set
64-bit Solaris 10 with SPARC chip set
64-bit Windows 2008, 2008 R2, or 2012 with a x64 chip set
If you plan to archive or retire data to a target other than NAS, see the product matrix availability for the supported operating systems at https://kb.informatica.com.
System-specific notes: The following limitations and recommendations apply to the Solaris 10 Update 6 with the SPARC chip set system:
Data Vault does not support multiple service-manager environments.
Because the Data Vault import and query architecture is CPU-intensive, do not run the system on architectures with Chip Multi-Threaded (CMT) processors such as the UltraSPARC T1 and T2.; The following limitations apply to the AIX 7.1 system:
Informatica supports the IBM JFS and JFS2 file systems.
Informatica supports the Big-Endian mode of the processor.; The following limitations apply to the Windows 2008 or 2012 with the AMD Opteron chip set system:
Informatica supports the NTFS file system.
Data Vault does not support multiple service-manager environments on Windows 2008 Server.
If you install Data Vault on Windows, you must install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) Service Pack 1.
To download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x64) Service Pack 1, go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=ba9257ca-337f-4b40-8c14-157cfdffee4e&displaylang=en
Java: Install the 64-bit version of Java Development Kit (JDK) SE 8.
To download JDK, go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
