Scalability Recommendation for Solaris Zones AIM Monitoring

General recommendations are to have one Zones AIM monitor the following configuration:

• Monitored Zones Servers: Up to 20
• Monitored Zones: Up to 1000

The AIM consumes CPU and Memory proportionally to the number of Zones. However the initial consumption of memory for the first couple of zones is higher and decreases with more zones being added.

With 1000 Zones the CPU consumption of the sysedge process is less than 5 percent.

Note: The presented CPU consumption is valid for a dedicated SystemEDGE agent not running any other AIM.

With 1000 Zones being added to the Zone AIM, the memory consumption of the sysedge process increases by approximately 20 MB.
