Dell Recommendations For Scalability
• If you have few Dell PowerVault MD Storage Arrays, then it is recommended to use the detailed edition of the
management pack, otherwise, it is recommended to use the scalable edition of the management pack.
• Enable the Autogrow option on OpsMgr database to accommodate the increment in the transaction log size as
the number of MD Storage Arrays increases.
• Ensure that you have a minimum of 5 GB disk space or choose the required minimum disk space as per
Microsoft's recommendation for your OpsMgr configuration.
