About OpsCenter Server on a virtual machine

This section talks about the OpsCenter Server configuration on a virtual machine.

For better performance, ensure the following before setting up an OpsCenter Server on a virtual machine.

  • Dedicate CPUs and RAM to the OpsCenter VM based on the recommendations in this document.

    See Sizing guidelines.

  • Ensure that ESX on which OpsCenter VM is running is not overloaded in terms of CPU, memory, and disk space usage.

  • Select optimum CPU Power Management Policy based on your requirement.

  • VMware snapshots increase the I/O heavily. Try to avoid snapshots.

  • Align file system (VMFS) partitions to 1MB.

  • Refrain from installing other Java applications on OpsCenter VM.

  • Install the OpsCenter database on a drive that is different from OpsCenter Server host. This drive should be on datastore, which is on dedicated LUN.

  • Make sure that OpsCenter database does not reside on a datastore where Guest OS swap and VM swap reside.

  • To reduce I/O, save the OpsCenter debug log files on a drive other than the one where the database is installed.

The following sections provide more information about OpsCenter Server configuration in a virtual environment.

See Physical versus virtual configuration for OpsCenter Server.

See Guidelines on the OpsCenter VM parameters.
