Systems Insight Manager 4.2 with SP2 - Windows Questions

[TJ_22]

Hello,

Does anyone know the maximum number of systems that SIM 4.2 supports? Currently we have 697 being monitored and are looking to add 300 more.

Thanks,

T.J.

There is no set limit, but there are practical limits. Generally, we have in the past used a rule of thumb:

MSDE = up to 500 systems / 5,000 events
SQL2000 = up to 5,000 / 50,000 events

We now have an HP SIM Sizer application available on the website: http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim --> Technical Support --> Sizer

...and there is a pre-built configuration for you to check against for 1,000 systems or you can enter your own parameters and build your own.
