Hi Friendz,

Thanks for vlaueable suggestion and help !

following details are missed for "Kiwi Syslog Server v9 - Single Install-9.5.0"

-> Standard Pre-Requisite for all components (i.e hardware configuration, storage Space etc)

-> Standard Implementation plan for all components.

-> details of tcp/udp ports which need to be open for these components.

-> Devices identification or configuration process on Solar Wind post installation of each component.

-> recommended log retention period. etc

And at last, You can also add other critical / helpful details which you would like to share for smooth installation/configuration or operation of these component which I skipped to mention/ask here

Regards

I am sure you can find your things here Such as below .

Thanks Malik for your prompt suggestion and valuable help.

One more Query on sizing part. We have proposed total 03 VMs for Orion/SolarWind Products mentioned in my prior mails. for DB Server..We have proposed this.

Pls suggest on Raid part, as we came to know that Raid 5 & Raid 6 not supported for Orion products. Pls correct me if wrong. Or share your recommendation.

Regards

The following is a SAMPLE recommendation so you can add or subtract these according to your own needs.

In order to get optimum performance from the SQL we only recommend to have Raid 0 / Raid 1+0 .

and RAID 1+0 is the best .

RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 Explained with Diagrams

RAID LEVEL 10

Following are the key points to remember for RAID level 10.

• Minimum 4 disks.
• This is also called as “stripe of mirrors”
• Excellent redundancy ( as blocks are mirrored )
• Excellent performance ( as blocks are striped )
• If you can afford the dollar, this is the BEST option for any mission critical applications (especially databases).

Hardware Recommendations for Orion Servers

CPU                       Quad Core Processor 3GHz or better

HD Space             20 GB

Memory              8-12GB

Mirrored drives for OS and 6 disks Raid 1+0 for database data files

>SQL DB for NPM SLX /NCM DLX Server/10 x APE

HD Space             20 GB

Memory              8-12GB

>SQL DB for NPM SLX Server/10 x APE

CPU                       Quad Core Processor 3GHz or better

HD Space             20 GB

Memory              8-12GB

**SQL Server Hardware Recommendation**

3 GHz, dual core processor or better. This will work for all size licenses. Do not use

less than a 2 GHz processor for any Orion SQL server.

Best Practice use RAID 10

2 x Raid 1 disk (Mirroring) For operating system

2 x Raid 1 disk   (Mirroring) Place pagefile here and also can be used for applications and ad hoc Stuff

4 x RAID 1 +0 Stripping and mirroring for database files (2 partitions 1 for Data File and 1 for Log File)

Server 2: Primary Database Server

Software Installed:

-      Microsoft SQL Server 2012, or 2008 R2 Standard Edition.

Recommended Deployment specs (Physical server recommended)

• Dual Quad Core Processor 3 GHz or better
• 64 GB RAM
• Hardware RAID Controller with a battery backed-up write back cache
• Disk Subsystem 1 Array 1: 2 x 146GB 15K disks RAID 1 (mirroring) Operating system
• Disc Subsystem 2 Array 2: 2 x 146GB 15K disks RAID 1 (Pagefile + Extra Storage)
• Disk Subsystem 3 Array 3: with 6x 15k 146GB or 300GB Disks configured in a RAID 1+0 arrays to allow for maximum write performance. This is for your SQL MDF AND FILEGROUPS
• Disk Subsystem 4 Array 4: with 4x 15k 146GB or 300GB Disks configured in a RAID 1+0 arrays to allow for maximum write performance. This is for your SQL LDF Transaction LOG File
• 1Gbit LAN port.
• Windows 2008 R2 Server (64-bit)

Server 3: NTA Flow Storage Database Server

Software Installed

• NTA Flow storage Service (Part of NTA)

Recommended Deployment specs (Physical or Virtual Machine)

• Quad core 3GHz processor or better
• 32 GB of RAM. To ensure optimal performance, RAM should be increased as the database size increases
• 500 GB of storage capacity on a 15k rpm SAS local NTFS disk
• 100 GB for every sustained 1000 Flows/s with 30-days retention period
• 64-bit Windows Server 2012, or 2008 Server.
