Chapter 2: Installing SolarWinds Virtualization Manager

117 = 90 + 0.15 x 90 + 0.15 x 90

The number of ESX hosts above is guidance only, and is based on a typical

corporate IT virtualization environment with approximately 10 VMs and one

datastore per ESX host server. Higher density environments require larger

memory sizes.

Disk space requirements

At least 200 GB of disk space is recommended so that you do not run out of

storage too soon. At the default collection interval, a virtualized environment

containing 1000 VMs and 100 hosts typically requires 40 GB of storage during the

first month, and then an additional 60 GB of storage over the next five years.

To more accurately estimate the disk space you will require over time, download

the SolarWinds Virtualization Manager Storage Calculator.

Expanding the provisioned disk size

The VMware appliance may allow thin provisioning as an option to let you install

with less than 200 GB of free disk space, but you will eventually exhaust the

available space. SolarWinds Virtualization Manager stops collecting data when

less than 1 GB of storage remains. At that point, you must increase the available

storage, and then change the provisioned size or the virtual hard disk.

To expand the provisioned size:

1. Increase the provisioned size of Hard disk 2 of the appliance.

a. Run the vSphere client, and then connect to the vCenter that is

hosting the appliance.

b. Select the SolarWinds Virtualization Manager appliance from the list

on the left.

c. Click Inventory > Virtual Machine > Edit Settings.

d. Select Hard disk 2 from the Hardware list.
