  • 1.  TIM post install system check

    Posted Mar 13, 2018 10:26 AM

    Hello,

     

    recently we do upgrade TIM software from a standalone server and MTP server, in both case install process return this output ( 10.5.1.18 to 10.5.2.15):


    TIM Post install System Check
    Fri Mar 2 18:21:14 -03 2018

    Total CPU Cores : 24 <-- OK
    Processor Speed (MHz): 2601.000 <-- FAILED (2900.000 minimum required)
    Total System MEM (MB): 128953 <-- OK
    Total Disk Space (GB): 92 <-- OK
    Total NICs Configured: 2 <-- OK


    The question is the Processor speed (Mhz) affect the performance of the TIM, what important is this value, I requiered thinking in change the servers?, the MTP server is a expensive server, so is necessary in this case change the server, or her architecture do permit changes of hardware?

     

    thanks

    We document minimum requirements here, but not a specific impact for not meeting the minimum processor speed:

    Install and Configure TIM for CA CEM - CA Application Performance Management - 10.5 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    In your situation, it would probably be best to monitor Tim performance closely and make a decision if see any problems. Some more general information for Tim on MTP here:

    Hello, Thomas 

    Thanks for your reply.

    I know this documentations, however, our customers not always accept our proposes or hardware requirements or usually same initial infraestructure it is stays in time and not change or better, and only upgrades of the software are made. all this based on the client's visionto reduce their costs.
