VMware vCenter Update Manager Sizing Estimator Posted
VMware vCenter Update Manager is a component of VMware Infrastructure that automates patches and upgrades of ESX hosts, virtual machine Tools and hardware, Windows and Linux virtual machines, and virtual appliance. A new sizing tool, VMware vCenter Update Manager Sizing Estimator, is now available. The following input parameters are used to estimate database size, patch store disk space, and temporary disk space: - Feasibility for virtual machine remediation - Number of ESX and ESXi flavors in the deployment - Number of hosts, virtual machines, Windows distributions, average number of locales for Windows distribution, average number of different Service Pack levels for Windows distribution, - Patch scan frequency for virtual machines - VMware Tools upgrade scan frequency for virtual machines - Virtual machine hardware upgrade scan frequency - Patch scan frequency for hosts
- Upgrade scan frequency for hosts The following are the outputs from the tool: - VMware vCenter Update Manager 4.0 database deployment model recommendations - VMware vCenter Update Manager 4.0 server deployment model recommendations - Initial disk space utilization in MB for database, patch store, and temporary space - Monthly disk space utilization growth in MB for database and patch store - The upper and lower bounds on the estimation, assuming a 20% variance
