        Table 1 at the end of this SSA).

     o  All processors require a device for installation of the
        software (refer to Table 1 at the end of this SSA).

     o  Certain processors have other requirements (refer to Table 1
        at the end of this SSA).

     Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

     Disk space required for
     installation:

     dalone
     environment:

       System disk:               4,800 blocks
                                  (2.5 Mbytes)

     DECtrace for VMS, Version 1.1                     SSA 25.G1.01-A




     DECtrace used in a VAX-
     cluster
     environment:

       System disk:               4,800 blocks
                                  (2.5 Mbytes)

       Additionally on system     7,200 blocks
     or other disk:               (3.7 Mbytes)
                                  ------
                                  12,000 blocks
                                  (6.2 Mbytes)

     These counts refer to the disk space required. The sizes are
     approximate; actual sizes may vary depending on the user's
     system environment, configuration, and software options.

     In addition to the installation disk space requirements, the
     user should plan for space to accommodate the DECtrace data
     collection files and formatted data files or database. This
     additional space is dependent on the amount of information
     collected and formatted using DECtrace, and will vary from
     collection to collection.

     CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

     This layered product is fully supported when installed on any
     valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration without restric-
     tions. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sections of this product's
     Software Product Description and System Support Addendum detail
     any special hardware required by this product.

     *  V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the
        VAXcluster Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and in-
        clude CI, Ethernet, and Mixed Interconnect configurations.
