  • 1.  Delphix SQL Target - Memory & CPU requirements

    Posted 02-27-2020 06:26:00 AM
    Hi
    I can't find anything in the documentation regarding the min requirements for Delphix SQL target server.
    I'm just building a new VM template and I wanted to set the min reqs in the image.
    Does anyone know what this is?  2 CPU 8GB?

    Hi Mark,

    You have to follow Miscrosoft's recommandation like if you want to size the server for your SQL instances.

    Delphix will use your target server to spin up/down instances, the ressources (cpu, memory & network to access delphix's database disks) needed for databse will be computed from the target.

    Hi Mark,

    These links might help - I am providing more than you asked for:
    https://docs.delphix.com/docs537/architecture-best-practices/architecture-best-practices-for-target-db-and-os-settings

    For SQL Server - please note this is for staging but target hosts are setup very much like staging hosts for SQL Server:
    https://docs.delphix.com/docs537/architecture-best-practices/architecture-best-practices-for-staging-targets
    In particular do not configure max memory for SQL instance(s) to no more than 90% of system memory.
    Hopefully this helps.

    Cheers,
    -Paul
