Can OpsCenter run on a VM, or does it have to be a physical server?

It can be a VM. We have fairly large customers running OpsCenter on VMs.

Just take note of resource requirements in the manual.

I run mine as Linux VM's with no issues.  Just make sure you allocate enough resources.

Hi

We are running ops center in VM. As marianne said, please make sure of  the resource requiremnet.

Bharath,

OpsCenter will run in a Virtual Machine, however, please note the following:

• OpsCenter Server and Agent are supported in a VMware virtual machine guest operating system environment.  (Page 103 - OpsCenter Admin Guide http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5042 )
• ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• OpsCenter does not collect data from the managed servers that are configured
  within a network address translation (NAT) network. (This could be an issue with some VM / Network Configurations)
• The OpsCenter server should be configured as a fixed host with a static IP address
• Minimum of 8GB of RAM - Recommended / Allocated to VM Host.

   

   

  If performance of the VM does not meet your needs, you can alway migrate the OpsCenter database to a physical host at a later date.
