Omar, I think the others responses to how to size etc are great, I would only add that our model limit that we came up with based on experience, the performance tool and other monitoring was around 200K and has worked pretty well. We had one landscapes a few weeks ago that went up to 240k models and began to crash every few days.
As far as Spectrum professional services being required, I have split about 15 landscapes using the modeling gateway tool that you can download from the support ftp site. The necessity of professional services really depends on your experience with the tool. Using the modeling gateway export tool allows you to export a subset of your entire landscape and then import it in to the new landscape without having to mess with any databases and while spectrum is up and running. After going through the xml configuration files it is quite easy to understand and perform a split. I get the new landscapes up and running and integrated into the DSS, export the overloaded landscape models that I want to move re-arranging containers as necessary and then import that into the new spectroserver. If you need more details on the procedure I can certainly help you. You don't get all model attributes by default with an export so be sure and check to see what you need outside of the defaults, we needed the "Notes" field that was not included in the export by default.

I'm using Spectrum 8.1 H14 on two Windows 2003 servers (SS on one physical, OC and RM on one virtual). There are about 240k models in SS. Polling rate is standard 5 minutes. Is there a way to perform Spectrum sizing and see if server can handle this much models or we should split it in two SSs? I've asked CA and they told me I need CA Professional Services onsight to perform it. As this is not an option, is there a way to do it anyway? These are Windows server configs: SS: Win Server 2003 SE SP2 CPU Intel 2.33 GHz RAM 4 GB OC and RM: Win Server 2003 SE SP1 CPU Intel 3.6 GHz RAM 3 GB I'm attaching Spectrum performance report in which everything seems normal except notifications. Any advice is appreciated! Srda*an pozdrav / Kind regards, ___________________ Omar Izetbegovi* Sedam IT d.o.o.
