I will install Distributed Security Onion, what are the minimum requirements ??
Are the following requirements sufficient? Specifically, disk space ??

Manager node with separate search nodes
8 CPU Cores, 16 GB RAM & 100 GB disk space.

Search Node
4-8 CPU Cores, 16 GB RAM & 200 GB disk space.

Forward Node
4 CPU Cores, 16 GB RAM & 100 GB disk space.

Have you had a chance to read through https://docs.securityonion.net/en/latest/hardware.html? Specifically the section on Manager with separate search node and sensor sections.

Yes, but I can't put more than 100 GB space manage node, any advice ?

You might be able to make this work, but we don't recommend it. Minimum specs are there for a reason.
