That is right, the recommendation is to have a server group in which you have a dedicated server for "admin tasks"that will run the tasks that I listed below.
Where is this written? Well it is not written anywhere publicly. However, I have personally talked to BMC Remedy consultants and architects from BMC Global Services (the consulting arm of BMC) and that's what they recommend. I guess eventually this knowledge will be formalized as a best practice architecture. We have that architecture set up in production, and works very well, so going forward, that's what is recommended for ITSM customers that have a CMDB implementation that involves reconciliation. The minimum for the server group is 2, one server dedicated to "admin/recon tasks", and the other one user facing. So if you have three servers, one for admin/recon tasks, the other two servicing users. Make sure you configure your load balancer so no user request gets forwarded to the "admin" server. -Guillaume -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of patrick zandi Sent: Mon 09/21/09 12:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Reconciliation process time and power Are you saying the Recommendation is using a Server Group? I don't see any need for that, unless you might be talking 15K nodes... and a over million relationships.. I would think. how many in the minimum for a server group??? what are they saying about that... Where is this written?
