Hi,

Well there are several documents available on Symantec website. There is even a sizing document.

We are using OpsCenter with 3 masters and it runs smoothly after I configure database server to use 4GB of cache. It requires lots of memory. CPUS/Cores usage increases when you run reports.

My VM that had our test OpsCenter vapourised but it was fine while it was available, certainly not obviously worse than NOM.  What we did do was the tuning documented in the NOM guides to set the DB cache a bit bigger - there is a section that is basically Sybase tuning.

I admit that it was only watching a couple of very small test lab Masters.  We still use NOM in production because it is not easy to upgrade - nothing to do with the product, just 'process'.

I think the best advice I can think of would be to be generous with the server specification and bear in mind that it is a database server (assuming you do it all on one server, which is not strictly required).  So if your OpsCenter server does not look like your SQL*Server servers... do not want a lot of paging.

It relies heavily on TCP communication and polling, so is your DNS quick?  Do you have long lists in domain search lists?   I'm not sure if nbdna works on all platforms but it does have the ability to see how quick name resolution is.  Slow DNS lookups multiplied by lots of servers will hurt.  Hosts files are dangerous but can help speed many NBU things up.
