Orion 8.1: Database can take a long time during upgrade

Database changes required to improve performance in this version cause the database update to take longer than in previous upgrades. For example, a database of 10GB can take over an hour to upgrade.

Hi,

I'm a newbee. I have Solarwinds Engineers toolset and Cirrus. What is required to make Orion 8.1 work in a cisco environment? I am aware of Netflow, but have never had the need to implement it. Our company is basically to large campus's with about 700 employees. Any comments are appreciated,..thanks.

All you need is SNMP enabled on your devices and allow pings/snmp requests to those devices as well. Pretty simple stuff.

Hhhmm,...So why all the talk of Netflow? Does Orion need Netflow to produce real0time data?

thanks

No, Orion does not need NetFlow to produce real time data. The NetFlow module allows users to see NetFlow data in the routers. NetFlow reveals traffic information. Orion can tell you how much bandwidth is being used by an interface. NetFlow tells you how that bandwidth is being used.
