Hi,
I've been given the project of rebuilding our Solarwinds environment and would be grateful for your help and opinions.
The most useful post I have found so far is;
I still have a few basic questions though.
When you mention poller does that mean NPM?
The proposed setup is as follows.
Two separate locations with all the IT staff in one location.
As we will rebuild the servers I’ll follow the manuals and guidance on here for the RAID and disk setup.
Servers
SQL Server
AMD 6x core 2.6 GHz, 16GB RAM, 2003 SE x64, SQL 2005 - This will be for the SQL database at our main site. Although it does look overspec'd.
Would it be worth putting Enterprise operations console on this instead of the main Orion box?
Main Servers
Xeon 3.2 GHz, 3.5Gb RAM, 2003 SE as the main Orion server. I'm assuming NCM will sit on here along with the web service.
There will be a similar server at our secondary site but I don't have the full spec for that yet.
Would we be able to use SQL express on these or would it be ok for the SQL databases to be one of multiple instances?
Pollers
2x Blades 2.6 GHz 2Gb RAM, one on each site as a polling engine
