Post-Installation
After installing VCM, do the following post-installation tasks to complete the installation and configuration
of your VCM environment.
This chapter includes the following topics:
On-Access Antivirus Settings 43
SQL Server Database Settings 43
Configure SQL Server Processor Settings 44
Use SQLIO to Determine I/O Channel Throughput 45
On-Access Antivirus Settings
Antivirus applications that include an on-access file scanner might reduce performance or cause errors in
VCM, especially in large scale environments.
Because of the high amount of access that certain VCM files and folders are subject to, configure on-access
scanners to exclude VCM database files and the folder on the Collector where VCM stages data.
Exclusions for SQL Server database files include the following file type extensions:
n
.MDF SQL Server data files
n
.LDF SQL Server data files
n
.NDF SQL Server data files
n
.BAK SQL Server backup files
n
.TRN SQL Server backup files
The default data folder on the Collector is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VCM\
SQL Server Database Settings
Configure the database settings for VCM to optimize SQLServer performance.
