Minimum system requirements for implementing SQL Servers as database servers

A server must meet the following system requirements for installation of a One Identity Manager database. Depending on the number of One Identity Manager modules and the accounts managed in One Identity Manager, the requirements for working memory, hard disk storage, and processors may be significantly greater than the minimum requirements.

Table 3: Minimum system requirements - database server

Processor

8 physical cores with 2.5 GHz+ frequency (non-production)

16 physical cores with 2.5 GHz+ frequency (production)

NOTE: 16 physical cores are recommended on the grounds of performance.

Memory

16 GB+ RAM (non-production)

64 GB+ RAM (production)

Hard drive storage

100 GB

Operating system

Windows operating systems

  • Note the requirements of Microsoft for the version of SQL Server you are using.

UNIX and Linux operating systems

  • Note the operating system manufacturer's minimum requirements for SQL Server databases.

Software

Following versions are supported:

  • SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition (64-bit) with the current cumulative update

  • SQL Server 2022 Standard Edition (64-bit) with the current cumulative update

NOTE: For performance reasons, the use of SQL Server Enterprise Edition is recommended for live systems.

  • SQL Server Management Studio (recommended)

NOTE: The minimum requirements listed above are considered to be for general use. With each custom One Identity Manager deployment these values may need to be increased to provide ideal performance. To determine production hardware requirements, it is strongly recommended to consult a qualified One Identity Partner or the One Identity Professional Services team. Failure to do so may result in poor database performance.

For additional hardware recommendations, read the KB article https://support.oneidentity.com/identity-manager/kb/290330/how-to-configure-settings-as-per-the-system-information-overview, which describes the overview of the system information available in One Identity Manager.

NOTE: In virtual environments, you must ensure that the VM host provides performance and resources to the database server according to system requirements. Ideally, resource assignments for the database server are fixed. Furthermore, optimal I/O performance must be provided, in particular for the database server. For more information about virtual environments, see Product Support Policies.

Comment

Language

English

Select English as the default language for database users.

Server Collation

Case insensitive

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS (recommended)

 

Extreme transaction processing supported (Is XTP supported)

True

One Identity Manager uses In-Memory-OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) for memory-optimized data accesses. The database server must support extreme transaction processing (XTP). This function is activated by default in a default installation.

The setting is tested by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating One Identity Manager database. If XTP is not activated, the installation or update does not start.

Property

Value

Comment

Collation

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Recovery model

Simple

The setting is tested by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating One Identity Manager database. If the recovery model is not set to the value Simple, a warning is issued before installing or updating starts. You can ignore this warning.

For performance reasons, however, it is recommended you set the database to the Simple recovery model for the duration of the schema installation or update.

Compatibility level

SQL Server 2019 (150)

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Auto Create Statistics

True

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Auto Update Statistics

True

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Auto Update Statistics Asynchronously

True

Quoted Identifiers Enabled

True

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Is Read Committed Snapshot On

True

The default setting for transactions is AutoCommit. If transactions are required, they are opened explicitly.

These settings have proven to provide the best balance between data security and performance for One Identity Manager's massive parallel processing. Other transaction modes are not supported by One Identity Manager.

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Parameterization

Forced

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Database file and date file group for memory-optimized tables

Required

One Identity Manager uses In-Memory-OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) for memory-optimized data accesses.

For the creation of memory-optimized tables, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • A database file with the Filestream data file type must exist.
  • A memory-optimized data filegroup must exist.

Before installation or update of the One Identity Manager database, the Configuration Wizard checks whether these requirements are fulfilled.

In the Configuration Wizard, repair methods are offered in order to create the database file and the data file group. The database file is created by the repair method in the directory of the data file (*.mdf).

Table variable deferred compilation (DEFERRED_COMPILATION_TV)

ON

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Interleaved execution (INTERLEAVED_EXECUTION_TVF)

ON

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.
