Tommy, With all the caveats about making sure you are correctly configuring your VMs and you have properly given them sufficient resources and you have properly done all the right things with how the network and disc and everything is interacting with VMs (all things that should be done regardless of what you are putting in a VM)...
There is no issue with running mid-tier and server and any component of the AR System environment or apps on VMs. The DB layer can run in a VM. We have seen evidence of large scale users with lots of data getting better overall throughput on physical machines for the DB, but it will work in both places. BMC itself runs with a physical DB and all AR System servers and mid-tiers on VMs. This is a common configuration in many of our customer environments. I hope this helps, Doug Mueller From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Tommy Morris Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2014 9:04 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Remedy 8.1.2 on VM ** Just wondering how many are running the current ARS, CMDB, ITSM on VM's. My current hardware is at end of life and I need justification to purchase a new server. Our mid-tiers are running VM with no problem of course but I am concerned about the stability and performance of running ARS and CMDB on a VM instance. Anyone have pros/ cons of going virtual?
