Considerations

A dedicated CA Enterprise Log Manager server achieves optimal performance with eight or more processors. VMware ESX Server allows up to four processors for a single virtual machine. To attain performance similar to an eight-processor, dedicated server, install CA Enterprise Log Manager on two or more virtual machines and then federate them for consolidated reporting.

Two CA Enterprise Log Manager servers running as guests under VMware ESX Server v3.5 approximate the capacity of a single, dedicated CA Enterprise Log Manager server. Use the following table to help plan your virtual network:

* Installation of CA Enterprise Log Manager as a Management server on a virtual machine is recommended only when you need to install a totally virtual environment.
