When
you
need
to
manage
up
to
5,000
systems,
HP
recommends
the
following
default
settings.
These
settings
might
not
be
ideal
for
every
situation,
but
they
serve
as
a
starting
point
from
which further
adjustment
might
be
necessary
depending
on
performance
needs.

(recommended)
When
the
Systems Insight Manager
database
is
collocated
with
Microsoft
SQL
Server
on
the
same
system,
performance degradation
occurs
because
of
input/output
issues.
It
takes
approximately
35%
longer
to
process
the
same
number
of
systems
when
the
database
is
located
on
a
local
server
versus
a
properly
configured Microsoft
SQL
Server
running
remotely.
For
the
remainder
of
this
document,
you
can
assume
that Microsoft
SQL
Server
and
Systems Insight Manager
are
located
on
separate
remote
servers,
denoted
as
the management
server,
unless
otherwise
specified.
Systems Insight Manager
Sizer
tool
The
Systems Insight Manager
Sizer
tool
assists
systems
administrators
in
building
highly
available,
high
–
performance HP
SIM
deployments
running
on
Microsoft
Windows,
Linux,
or
HP
-UX
operating
systems.
Based
on
the
results
of
HP
quality
assurance
and
performance
testing,
the
tool
recommends
server
configurations based
on
projected
management
workloads,
installed
management
applications,
and
number
of console
users.
The
tool
also
provides
performance
and
configuration
data
designed
to
help
systems administrators
optimize
the
performance
of
