Adding Virtual Servers to Your Environment

If you already have an existing CA Enterprise Log Manager implementation, you can add virtual CA Enterprise Log Manager collection servers to handle an increased event volume in your network. This scenario assumes that you have already installed a CA Enterprise Log Manager management server and one or more CA Enterprise Log Manager servers for collection and reporting.

Note: To achieve the best performance, install CA Enterprise Log Manager on virtual servers to handle collection and reporting tasks only.

The process to add virtual collection servers to your environment includes the following procedures:

  1. Create a new virtual machine.
  2. Add virtual disk drives.
  3. Install CA Enterprise Log Manager in the virtual machine.
  4. Configure the CA Enterprise Log Manager server as described in the installation section.

After you install the virtual collection server, you can add it to your federation for querying and reporting.
