I am trying the VMware community here to get some outside input. I am currently on a VMWare platform ESXI4.0 with 3 physical hosts running dual hexcore 2.66MHZ with 48 GB ram in each of the hosts. All this is connected to 2 separate ISCI optimized switches that the hosts and the SAN communication thru.
My question is how would you distribute the different OS for the Epicor application? My current setup is as follow:
1 physical hosts holds the Epicorapp (32GB RAM and 4VCPU) and ESET (2GB and 4VCPU)
1 physical hosts holds the EpicorSQL(16GB RAM 4VCPU) and Bartender-Advanced Print management ( 16GB 4VCPU)
1 physical hosts holds the Solidworks server (4GB RAM 4VCPU) and Citrix machine (4 GB and 4VCPU)
The current setup is kind of flawed at the moment due to miscommunications between different departments and needs to be fixed.
The epicor app needs 4 app server 1 sql 1 loader and 1 controller and that does not include any of the other servers that needs to run on this system.
The system was overspecced some when bought but within 5 months from purchase to go live the specs changed and the initial configuration was obsolete but now needs to be fixed.
I have searched high and low for answers to this but all i have at this time is some *gut* feeling about what i should do but noone to bounce the ideas off.
not asking for a tailored solution here just some input if any from people who currently are running epicor in a VM enviroment and are happy with there setup.
