vCOPS 5.7.1 storage requirements

[Mattvo]

Does anyone know where to find the latest storage requirements for vCOPS?  It's not in the release notes, and you now have this Balanced and Full metric collection profile so I don't know how to scale it to what was released back in like 5.0 or 5.6.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

  The requirements are in the release notes under "vApp Requirements" but here they are for 5.7.1 -

vApp Requirements

The following section lists the computing requirements and assumptions for the vCenter Operations Manager vApp. 

  Balanced Profile

• Maximum number of objects: 12K, 2.2 million metrics
• Memory
  • Analytics VM: 21GB
  • UI VM: 26GB
• vCPU
  • Analytics VM: 8 vCPU
  • UI VM: 8 vCPU

  Full Profile

• Maximum number of objects: 12K, 5 million metrics
• Memory
  • Analytics VM: 63GB
  • UI VM: 26GB
• vCPU
  • Analytics VM: 24 vCPU
  • UI VM: 16 vCPU

I saw that but it just covers RAM and CPU...I'm looking for storage.  back in 5.6 it needed 3.2TB for 2,5m metrics and 6000vms.  So if you go to full and 5m metrics do you need 6.4TB?

So you can use the storage sizing for 5.6 as a guide, as you have done, using the assumptions in the deployment guide.
