Introduction

We recommend the following virtual machine sizes:

For nGeniusPULSE without SNMP polling (only synthetic testing): model J

For nGeniusPULSE including SNMP polling: model K

For nGeniusPULSE including SNMP polling > 2000 objects: model M

 

Solution

nGeniusPulse Small System

This deployment has been tested in situations where there are less than 50 nPoints and no infrastructure monitoring.

All appliances are installed from an iso-file provided by COMCERT at the day of installation.

Virtual Machine Settings nGeniusPULSE Server
Type J
CPU 4
Memory 48GB
Network adapter 1 1x VMXNET3
Hard disk 1 (see 1) 86GB
Hard disk 2 (see 1) 12GB
Hard disk 3 (see 1) 64GB

(1) It is important to respect the order and sizes of the hard disk. All hard disk must be thic provisioned. Disk 2 and 3 performace must be no less than 300 IOPS; choose your datastore accordingly.

(2) For information only; the operarating system is part of the iso and will be installed with the software.
