Server sizing question

JasonO

I have about 10k clients, 1 SUM/SEC, 1 DB server and 2 relays.  All running 2008.  I am planning my upgrade to server 2008 r2 for all but the DB server.  Anyone have any additional recommendations?  I was just going to do the relays first because that is the easy part.  But should I take the SUM away from the SEC and make my relays also give out the updates(SUM)?  What else would get the CPU down on the SEC?  It is just higher than I would like. 

Thanks,

Jason

    HI,

    Moving the distribution locations would be a good idea to take away the updating load.   You could push the distribution locations to another file server/filer from your existing SUM.  Otherwise as you say, you could utilize the relay servers.  If you do this however, you need to remove RMS on them before installing SUM.  SUM will install a "client" configuration of RMS on install.  All the clients will still see the relay and use it in it's current state which could overwhelm it.  Just something to be aware of if you do this.

    What process is taking all the CPU on the management server? sqlservr.exe , mgntsvc.exe, routernt.exe?

    Also what version of SEC are you running?

    Regards,

    P.S. RMS seems to perform much better on 2008 R2 rather than 2008 in my experience.
