Dimensioning virtual machines
Introduction
We recommend the following virtual machine sizes.
Solution
nGeniusPulse Small System
This deployment has been tested in situations where there are less than 50 nPoints and less than 100 monitorred elements.
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 | 32GB |
| Network adapter 1 | 1x VMXNET3 |
| Hard disk 1 (see 1) | 40GB |
| Hard disk 2 (see 1) | 8GB |
| Hard disk 3 (see 1) | 24GB |
| OS (see 2) | CentOS 7 |
(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 installed with the software.
