Memory management for ISE VM

Chetankumar Phulpagare — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:52:56 GMT

Customer is using ISE 3595 VM which by default allocates 64GB of RAM to the VM. They have been monitoring the memory usage on PSN nodes from vCenter and it's mostly using ~1GB. They are interested in turning the 'Turbonomics Memory Management' feature on, which will dynamically lower or increase the allocated RAM for the VM so there's better usage of shared resources. Is it safe to use such feature for ISE VM? I think it's possible to assign a low watermark which will always be allocated to the VM. What should be that watermark?

Thanks!

Hey Chetan,

I don't believe that feature is tested and thus would likely be unsupported for production use.

Thanks,

Russ
