Introduction
We recommend the following virtual machine sizes:
- For nGeniusPULSE without SNMP Polling (only Synthetic Testing and Smart Edge Monitoring): Type J
- For nGeniusPULSE including SNMP Polling with up to 250 nPoints and/or 2500 monitored elements: Type K
- For nGeniusPULSE including SNMP Polling with > 250 nPoints and/or > 2500 monitored elements: Type M
Make sure you have sufficient rights to deploy a New Virtual Machines and Edit Settings.
Solution
nGeniusPulse Small System
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 | 64GB |
| Network adapter 1 | 1x VMXNET3 |
| Hard disk 1 (see 1) | 86GB |
| Hard disk 2 (see 1) | 12GB |
| Hard disk 3 (see 1) | 64GB |
| SCSI controller (see 2) | LSI Logic Parallel |
| Guest OS (see 3) | CentOS 7 |
(1) It is important to respect the order and sizes of the hard disks. All hard disks can be thin provisioned. Disk 2 and 3 performace must be no less than 300 IOPS; choose your datastore accordingly.
(2) Recommended.
(3) For information only; the operarating system is part of the iso and will be installed with the software.
nGeniusPULSE Medium System
All appliances are installed from an iso-file provided by COMCERT at the day of installation.
| Virtual Machine Settings | nGeniusPULSE Server |
|---|---|
| Type | K |
| CPU | 8 |
| Memory | 64GB |
| Network adapter 1 | 1x VMXNET3 |
| Hard disk 1 (see 1) | 86GB |
| Hard disk 2 (see 1) | 12GB |
| Hard disk 3 (see 1) | 500GB |
| SCSI controller (see 2) | LSI Logic Parallel |
| Guest OS (see 3) | CentOS 7 |
nGeniusPULSE Large System
All appliances are installed from an iso-file provided by COMCERT at the day of installation.
This VM complies with Netscout's minimal specifications.
| Virtual Machine Settings | nGeniusPULSE Server |
|---|---|
| Type | M |
| CPU | 24 |
| Memory | 96GB |
| Network adapter 1 | 1x VMXNET3 |
| Hard disk 1 (see 1) | 275GB |
| Hard disk 2 (see 1) | 275GB |
| Hard disk 3 (see 1) | 4TB |
| SCSI controller (see 2) | LSI Logic Parallel |
| Guest OS (see 3) | Centos 7 |
