AddingMoreResources
As a virtual appliance, NetMRI allows the allocation of additional VMware server resources to the VM. Additional resources can be in the form of additional vCPUs, additional memory, or additional storage.
| Adding vCPUs | Adding additional vCPUs to the NetMRI virtual appliance should be done in accordance with the VMware administration guide. No additional configuration of NetMRI is needed when adding additional processors. Keep in mind that more is not always better. Due to context-switching, adding additional vCPUs to NetMRI may impair performance. |
| Adding Memory | Allocating additional memory to any NetMRI virtual appliance should be done in accordance with the VMware administration guide. |
| Adding Storage | Allocating additional storage to the NetMRI virtual appliance should be done by adding storage as RDM or VMDK-based disks in accordance with the VMware administration guide. |
