Hi,
I am trying to work out what specification machines to use for a deployment of SCOM 2012 R2. I have searched on this forum, online generally and used the sizing guide but its all a bit vague. The sizing guide spat out the result below but as you can see it makes no mention of CPU speeds or server HDD space apart from the DW server which says 300GB. The sizing wizard also spat out 14.43GB for the Ops DB and 427.45GB for the DW DB based on managing 600 servers, no network devices or applications.
Minimum Hardware Recommendation:
Role: (Total: 2) (1) management server managing up to 1000 agents, plus (1) management server for HA, managing up to 10 SDK users total
Hardware:
• 4 disk RAID 10
• 16 GB RAM
• 4 Cores
Role: Operations Database Server
Hardware:
• 6 disk RAID 10 (Data)
• 2 disk RAID 1 (Log)
• 16 GB RAM
• 4 Cores
Role: Operations Data Warehouse Server
Hardware:
• 12 disk RAID 10 (Data) (300 GB)
• 2 disk RAID 1 (Log)
• 16 GB RAM
• 4 Cores
Role: Web Console Server & SQL Server Reporting Services Server
Hardware:
• 2 disk RAID 1
• 8 GB RAM
• 4 Cores
I have also seen in the documentation that the management servers only require 1024MB of free space on the System Drive, that seems a bit overkill to have that spread across 4 disks at RAID 10. With regards to the DW disk requirements does it really need 300GB on 12 disk RAID 10 plus the 427.45GB for the Data Warehouse?
If someone could possibly clear this up I would be extremely grateful.
