While this is the most flexible architectural option it does require a license of Opmantek's opHA module. This option provides the ability to scale collection horizontally across multiple Pollers, and then have those devices report up to one or more Master Primary servers at the top-tier.

This architectural option should be considered in the following situations:

...

  • If you have deployed the Opmantek Virtual Machine (VM) you will notice separate partitions are used for the OS and applications, and application data (/data).
  • This makes it incredibly easy to manage storage requirements, as you can simply adjust the size of the /data partition to increase storage as requirements change.
  • Steps to resize the VM's /data partition can be found HERE: Resizing the Opmantek Virtual Machine (VM)

Polling Server vs

Primary Server

  • Generally speaking, simply determine which applications are running on each server, then apply the estimates from above for each.
  • The only caveat is with NMIS on a Master Primary server, since NMIS is only processing and storing a relatively small amount of time-related performance data you do NOT need to apply the NMIS calculations. Simply allocate 40GB for NMIS and then add in storage for any other applications on the Master Primary server.
