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.
