The main advantage of a local db would be with a VM. That way you can snapshot both the server and database to a point-in-time while installing the various applications and during patches. You could always restore a remote db, but snapshotting is quite simple. And recovering from a patch blow-up ... well, you know.
Just a thought... :-) Tony Tony Worthington Sr. Technical Analyst Kohl's Department Stores N56 W17000 Ridgewood Drive Menomonee Falls, WI 53051 262.703.5911 (phone) [email protected] www.Kohls.com From: jham36 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 02/19/2009 01:15 PM Subject: Re: seeking specification recommendation for a 7.5 sandbox Sent by: "Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)" <[email protected]> I am planning a similar thing here. I think it might be best to run the DB remotely. That way it is not taking up resources from your Remedy server. As long as it is located at the same physical site as your Remedy server, you should be fine. We are going to be using a VM environment with 2 x 3 GHz processors and 8 GB RAM and about 50 GB disk. We could use more memory, but we are not really going to be testing performance here. We want to emulate our current dev environment and see what happens/breaks if we upgrade to ARS 7.5 and 7.5 Attrium Core while keeping our 7.03 ITSM apps. Our environment should be ready to start the Remedy install on Monday.
