metrics are good if you have them but -- in my experience anyways -- they do not compare to actual production loads and user reviews for testing backup scenarios. i used to work in a highly critical financial production environment so i always stayed on the cautious side.

also, while virtualized environments are optimized for resource-sharing, the host device only has a finite set of resources and they too will eventually be exhausted should the load on the host be too much. which is why most virtualized environments i know will always have redundant setups. Smilie

System-utilization data includes CPU, memory, disk, and network data. is installed as part of the software, which also contains a WBEM provider that is the interface to the data collected by stores up to 30 days worth of utilization data and consumes minimal system resources. The total disk space consumed by these data files should not exceed 20 megabytes in the default installation. is respawned if it is killed, due to the following entry in /etc/inittab: WARNINGS
