CSM 4.2 Performance problems

[Alfred Berberich]

Hi

If we like to deploy 10 or more Firewalls at once via CSM 4.2 than CSM hangs during the deploy  .

We have to restart CSM processes

Its seems that it depend on the number of firewall if deploy fails.

We have Windows 2008 on VMware , 10 GB Memory , 2 CPUs and 20 GB Swap

Does any others have the same problems ?

sincerely

Alfred,

Please refer to the CSM Deployment Guide for recommended hardware and software specs.  There are some specific guidelines outlined within it for VMware-based deployments depending on the features you're leveraging and number of devices:

Which OS your are using ?

We have 2008 under VMware and a colleque of mine old me 2008 R2 solved some Memory problems.

Can anybody confirm that ?

Thanks

Solution so that 100 FW deploy works under 2008 R2 is:

24 GB RAM

4 CPUS
