Hi Ashok,

Did you check for docs. It has all details.

Hi Ashok,

As mentioned before, you can find everything in the docs. 

The MID Server supports these Windows operating systems, including virtual machines and 64-bit systems:

• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2016
• Windows Server 2019

The MID Server is supported on these Linux versions for virtual machines and 64-bit systems:

• Linux Red Hat 6 and above
• Ubuntu 1404 (Ubuntu 14) and above
• CentOS 6 and above

The MID Server requires the minimum PowerShell version 3.0 and supports versions up to PowerShell 5.1.

Java 11.0.12 is bundled with the MID Server installer package and is installed on the host for all new MID Servers. The installer automatically configures Java 11.0.12 to run in your environment. No additional configuration is required. This version supports both 64-bit Windows MID Servers and 64-bit Linux MID Servers. The MID Server requires a minimum JRE version 11.0.8, and recommended version 11.0.12.

The MID Server installs with 1 GB of JVM memory.

System requirements for your instance are determined by the needs of the individual products you use that require a MID Server. Some applications, such as Health Log Analytics, have additional system requirements listed in their documentation.

MID Server performance and system requirement are driven my multiple factors including but not limited to:

• The size of the customer infrastructure and specific function (Capability) MID Server is configured to perform.
• The number of MID Servers installed on the host.
• The number of threads per MID Server.
• The number and nature of other applications running on MID Server host.
• Architectural and design enhancements over ServiceNow releases. For example, using PowerShell for Windows Discovery in Orlando or changing default Java Garbage Collection policy in Quebec.

Following up on this question as the official docs page does not effectively communicate this in my view.

The minimum space requirement for a MID server is 36GB. Found this out today when attempting to install a new MID on a Windows server for Utah instance. If you do not meet this requirement the installation will fail at the end of the wizard and display the error relating to space.
