? about Ops/Ent Mgr

[gomaze]

Does anyone know if Ops/Ent Mgr can use more then 4gb of memory?  Trying to decide if we should install it on a box with 2k3 standard or enterprise.

Thanks

  How many nodes will it be managing?  Mitel shows only 2G needed to manage 1000 nodes.  Based on that I'd go with Standard. . .

  I keep hoping to Windows 2008 show up on the list though....

This would be an architecture limitation, Since (without PAE or WAE as Microsoft calls it) 32-bit integers can only address 4GB of memory for any given process. Windows Std and Enterprise will treat this the same way if they are both 32-bit. Switch to a 64-bit version of Windows if you need a single process to consume more than 4GB of RAM.

Oh. And don't use PAE or WAE. 64-bit hardware is cheap now.

*Note I am assuming that 32-bit limitations aren't hard coded into enterprise manager / ops man

I recently put it on an enterprise 2k3 box with 16gb of memory. It didnt help the performance any

From the reading I have been doing.  If you install OPS MGR on a 64 bit server it will still run in 32 bit mode, through "emulation".  So this restriction of how much memory can use, is very true.
