The Index Configuration server setting also affects the size of the database. If you use the
Minimal Indexing option, the database will be smaller than if you use one of the other options.
The ultimate database size cannot be calculated accurately prior to deploying McAfee Policy
Auditor, but can be estimated approximately 3 months after beginning a phased rollout. Use
the database storage sizing estimates to determine the initial database size for new systems
and new audits.
Estimating database storage requirements
You can estimate the average amount of hard disk space needed to store new McAfee audit
results.
1 Determine the auditing requirements for your organization, including:
• The number of audits you will be performing.
• The frequency of each audit. For example, 20 audits once per quarter, 5 audits once
per month, or one audit once per week.
• The number of systems covered by each audit.
2 Use the example and the table in Database sizing example and requirements table to
estimate the database space required for each audit.
3 Add the values for each audit.The sum is equal to the size of the database required to
store the audit results for one year.
4 Determine the length of time you want to store the audits and adjust the database
accordingly. For example, if you intend to store the audit results for two years, double the
database size obtained in step 3. If you intend to store the audit results for six months,
divide the database size by two.
Database storage example and requirements table
The requirements table for database sizing can help you calculate the the approximate disk
space needed for your McAfee Policy Auditor database.
Requirements table for database sizing
Use this table to estimate the required size of your database. These estimates are based upon
the average size of benchmark audit results.Your needs may vary.
