[rt-users] Hardware Config

[Cassandra L. Brockett]

I run it that way in production here, I also happen to have a copy of the machine that I use for testing major changes, etc...

I did not that 3.4 and 3.6 where horribly slow for us, but it turned out to be a fault of the way that those revisions used the PostgreSQL backend, not RT or the system, 3.8.2 is screaming along for us.

Subject: Re: [rt-users] Hardware Config

I've been following this discussion (rather belatedly) with some interest.  One thing I haven't heard anyone discuss yet:

Has anyone tried running RT in a virtual machine?  I'm about to move our RT 3.4.2 server onto a virtual machine.  I've configured the RT VM to be actually really quite weedy (32-bit and only 2 GB RAM), and perhaps I need to change that, but I figure that VMware ESX probably does quite a good job of caching the disk its using anyway.  The actual physical hardware is a quad socket quad core machine with 64 GB of RAM.  The underlying storage is StorageWorks EVA on a SAN, so it should be pretty quick.

Has anyone tried this sort of thing?  Am I about to burn myself badly?  Our turnover of tickets is pretty low - only a few hundred tickets a week.
