Sun Management Center 3.6.1 Installation and Configuration Guide

PRM Server Configuration Examples

The following table provides examples of the numbers of agents that can be managed by each architecture type, assuming that each agent is collecting an average of 300 properties each for PRM. The Hourly Data Collection provides the estimated time required to collect data. The Nightly Processing column provides the estimated time to process the collected data. The duration of the data collection and subsequent processing depends on the server hardware, the server activity, and the amount of PRM data in the database.
