fairm010 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I am about to move my HAP install from an old physical box to a shiny new VM on our new ESXi host and I am curious to know what resources to allocate the VM? Can anyone shed some light? @nickbro what do you run your install on?
fairm010 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Cheers. Anyone else? I'm trying to get a general consensus on this
Sam_Brown Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 The great thing about VMs is that you can change the resources allocated to the VMs on the fly.
fairm010 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah I just didnt want to go in giving it too little and have HAP struggle under load or give it too much and waste resources
sonofsanta Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Ours is dual core, allocated 2GB at startup with permission to grow up to 8GB if it needs it (dynamic allocation). It's on two weeks uptime right now and it's still on 2GB because it hasn't asked for more.
fairm010 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Does ESXi 5.5 (Free one) support dynamic allocation? @sonofsanta
sonofsanta Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Not a clue, I'm on Hyper-V Point is that even 2GB seems fine (albeit we've only just launched so it may not be under full load atm)
fairm010 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Ah ok! Yesterday was a good test day for HAP with two year groups out. The web tracker graph spiked quite a bit!
