Currently we have IEM server and console in same V-LAN.
client reporting to it are around 14k.
we have challenge now to move the console to another V-LAN.
Is it feasible ?
if yes , what are dependency (bandwidth , latency etc.) ?
Please help
yes, you can install BigFix console anywhere, the only thing concerned here is connection speed if thats not enough you will see slowness during console usages.
I am not sure about minimum but this is what HCL recommend.
Use high-speed network connections between your consoles and servers, preferably with LAN connections of at least 100 MBPS, running the console from a computer with a slow connection often results in very long load times.
However in our infra we have 1GBPS to 10GBPS connection for console servers.
I regularly use a console that is very remote from our main server (different continent but with good connectivity). Console load times can be long (eg 30 mins) but once loaded I rarely see any issues. I set my console refresh to be every 30 mins so it reduces the amount and frequency of refreshing from the main server. I would also say watch out when opening analysis that have a lot of properties as that does cause console freeze though TBH, I’ve seen that even running a console local on the main server so I think it not related to my remote console. You can remove properties from the analysis view to reduce the performance impact in those cases.
