Are there any plans to release a preconfigured VMWare image (as there was with 1.0 / 1.4)? If not, what is the recommended configuration of the Virtual Machine for those of us who will be running this under VMWare Server (Hard disk space, number of processors, etc.)?
No problem... just checking. Will there be any difference between the preconfigured ACC Server Image and one I would create on my own? If not, what are the recommended VMWare settings (OS type, HD size, Processors, etc.) for building the image?
OS type would Suse Linux Enterprise Server HD size absolute minimum would be 10 GB CPU ... completely depending on the number of users and devices RAM ... completely depending on the number of users and devices
You could follow the standard hardware recommendations given in the release notes. But I guess you can also try out some cheaper settings. Here are some hints:
CPU/RAM/HDD for 10-25 devices and 1-2 users: 2 GHz, 512 MB, 20 GB HDD CPU/RAM/HDD for 50 devices and 2 users: 3 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 30 GB HDD CPU/RAM/HDD for 100 devices and 3 users: 1-2 virtual CPUs, 1-2 GB RAM, 30 GB HDD CPU/RAM/HDD for 250 devices and 5 users: 2-4 virtual CPUs, 2-3 GB RAM, 60 GB HDD
You still should conisder raising the HDD size because of logging and reporting.
