One of the best procedures to include in your regularly scheduled maintenance; I'm glad to hear other people do the same.

How often do you restart your BES? Only when patches are required or there is some big error / problem. If you have planned reboots of your BES because of problems start to drum up then you have a systematic / architecture flaw that needs to be addressed. BES isn't an application that needs reboots to "clear it up". And to hopefully end the discussion on "how many users do you put on a BES on ESX?" I've had 4000 users on a single BES. You can pretty much put any app on ESX ... the reason vendors don't want to support applications on virtual servers is because server admins / engineers / architects don't properly spec the resources required for the application. Baselining and benchmarking a server for 8 hours one day just doesn't cut it. Lucky for BES it isn't too taxing on Disk I/O which is without a doubt the single most improperly spec'd resource for a virtual environment. I'd also stay away from multiple nics; just isn't needed. Back to your regularly scheduled programming; Happy Friday. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Burns Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 12:42 PM To: [email protected]; A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues, etc. Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] How often do you restart your BES Curious...do you incorporate a second Intel NIC with ESX for BES or share at the 100 user level?
