Agreed.  We ran Servers Alive on a virtual machine for a couple years, but 
always had stability problems.  It has been much better since we moved it back

Guy's, 

 

I am being asked if it would be possible to Virtualise our Servers Alive 
installation for an on-going system wide upgrade project. The other monitoring 
we have on the same server is Insight Manager for hardware monitoring. We are 
currently running this on a Windows 2003 Server. We monitor a number of servers 
/ services etc. over a number of sites. 

 

Does anyone already have Servers Alive running on a Virtual Server (and Insight 
Manager preferably)? 

 

If you do are there any issues I should consider in migrating to a Virtual 
environment? Are there any issue in running in this way? 

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Regards, 

 

Andy

RE: [SA-list] Servers Alive running on Virtual Servers

2012-01-05 Thread Goggins, Patrick
See below. 

 

~Patrick 

 

Not yet, looking at it in Spring. We are running Insight Manager as a VM under 
Server 2008 R2 with no issues. 

 

The only thing to keep in mind when running it as a VM if the VM is running off 
a SAN/NAS, make sure you have another instance running at another site to 
monitor the instance to prevent a potential outage causing a total loss in 
monitoring. 

 

 

Side question, when looking at virtualizing our Servers Alive installs 
I’m not seeing anything posted on the Woodstone site for Server 2008 or 
2008 R2 support. Any official word on support?

Re: [SA-list] Servers Alive running on Virtual Servers

2012-01-05 Thread Jason Passow
I do run it on it on a virtual server.  There are no special concerns with 
running it on a virtual machine.  I do not currently run Insight manager on a 
virtual machine so I cannot be of any help there.

Subject: [SA-list] Servers Alive running on Virtual Servers



Guy’s, 

 

I am being asked if it would be possible to Virtualise our Servers Alive 
installation for an on-going system wide upgrade project. The other monitoring 
we have on the same server is Insight Manager for hardware monitoring. We are 
currently running this on a Windows 2003 Server. We monitor a number of servers 
/ services etc. over a number of sites. 

 

Does anyone already have Servers Alive running on a Virtual Server (and Insight 
Manager preferably)? 

 

If you do are there any issues I should consider in migrating to a Virtual 
environment? Are there any issue in running in this way? 

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Regards, 

 

Andy

I would worry about higher latency and more timeout issues.

All (most) testing of SA is done within VMWare systems, as they are virtual 
systems it should work fine in production too :-)
