Many thanks for all the responses everyone. I'm going to ask my SA how many cores the processors have and we'll go from there. BTW he's saying that adding or dropping CPUs after the fact may be causing some bluescreens, so I'll lobby for two CPUs and 8 gigs of RAM. Drew

VM Processors, one or two?

2012-07-12 Thread Drew Shuller
Good afternoon everyone. We're in the process of building a virtual server for a very small ITSM/CMDB/ADDM installation. BMC's hardware docs state that the server should have two processors. We're thinking that we can get by with only one. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance. Drew Shuller Remedy

Drew, you are at a base.. come on.. 2 cpu's with loads of RAM.. minimum.. you might be able to get away with 1 but your going to have contention.. so just tell the commander, don't be such a cheap skate.. On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 6:05 PM, Drew Shuller drew.shul...@gmail.comwrote: ** Good

It all depends on how much time you want to spend waiting on the CMDB. You can try 1, but if you start to hit timeouts (which, btw, probably means some type of unrecoverable or a PITA to recover failure), I would suggest you bump it up to 2. The installation process alone will probably time out;
