BMC classifies CI data into three main categories. Core, Detailed and Related CI Data. It is recommended that you only store Core data in the CMDB. The detailed and related data should be accessible from the CMDB and stored somewhere else. If you store every CI and all the data related in the same database it will quickly grow to unmanageable proportions. 1. My question would what percentage of your data is federated and what percentage is not?2. Where are you storing federated data and how are you accessing it?

If that (1.5M+ CIs) works for you, I'd be interested to understand the infrastructure you're running on to achieve acceptable performance at those numbers! -Brian From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew WhiteSent: Friday, November 10, 2006 6:55 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Large CMDB ** I would like to get some feedback to find out how large your CMDB is… As far as: 1) Number of CIs 2) Number of Relationships 3) Size of database Just to get an understanding/compass reading on how people are using this solution and such. Also, as far as reconciliation: 1) How many CIs and Attributes are you comparing each time you reconcile your CMDB? 2) How often are you reconciling? As far as I go – we currently have over 1.5MM CIs with over 8MM relationships; We reconcile at least every 24hours depending on the source… Regards, Matt ________________________________________ Business Transparency, Inc.
