Hello John,
I'm curious what type of machine people here using to run RT as well as
what sort of database, and if the machines have anything else running on
them.
At the moment in a VM running as on one cpu on a Tyan B4882T46U2H with
dual core AMD Opterons at 2Ghz with 4Gb memory.
The RT VM has 768Mb memory. We are running RT-3.6.1 using Oracle XE with
RTFM-2.2RC2 and AT-1.2.3
Number of tickets is about 33000 with a couple of groups and about 20
priviledged users.
This machine has multiple RT VM's (prod 2x/test/demo/) and further a
couple of small and big test/production linux/MS installations.
CPU usage is rarely over 15% and memory usage around 2Gb.
At the moment I'm thinking about running the RT instance in a VMWare
server pointing the database to our departmental MySQL server.
I'm looking xen instead of VMWare server because it might allow for
quicker disaster recovery.
Either way I figure we'd be covered by a once a day snapshot of the
virtual machine and we can use our current database backup schemes so
nothing new would have to be done for RT on the db server.
We make snapshots everyday of the complete VM but might switch to a
dedicated database server VM with multiple RT VM's pointing to it and
then the backup of the RT VM's will probably change to once a week or
only when
upgrading RT or one of its components because I don't mind loosing
things like rt session info.
Joop
