Deployment Assumptions

Using CA Enterprise Log Manager in a virtual environment, or a mixed environment that includes both appliance-class and virtual servers, assumes the following things:

• In an all-virtual environment, install at least one CA Enterprise Log Manager server as a management server. This management server manages configurations, subscription content, user-defined content, and communicates with agents. The management server does not receive event logs or handle queries and reports.
• In a mixed environment, install the management CA Enterprise Log Manager server on certified hardware.
• Each virtual machine host must have four, dedicated processors, which is the maximum permitted by VMware ESX Server 3.5.
