CommServe – Recommended RAM sizing when memory usage is consistently ~90%

Hey ​@Nikos.Kyrm 

Each CommCell role has it’s own sizing guidelines, if you’re using the same machine for multiple roles, then add the required resources for each role,

CS : Hardware Specifications for the CommServe Server

VSA: Hardware Specifications for the CommServe Server

MA: Hardware Specifications for Deduplication Mode

It’s generally recommended to separate the roles on diferent machine, especially for large environments.

Thanks,

Hi ​@AbdulRahman AlSindiony 

Thanks for your reply.

Our CommServe has only the CommServe / Management Server role. The other roles mentioned (MA, VSA, etc.) are distributed across their respective servers. I only mentioned the multiple Azure, AWS, OCI and M365 environments to highlight that the overall environment is becoming more complex.

So, coming back to the main question: with the CommServe currently at 32 GB RAM and consistently around 90% utilization, is the recommendation to go directly to 64 GB, or is there a recommended intermediate RAM size between 32 GB and 64 GB?

Thanks!

​@Nikos.Kyrm , there is no limitation from Commvault on the step size, 64/128 GB is not mandatory, you can even increase in sub GB step, 

If you’re going to increase it, I’d say 48 GBs, but it’s worthy to keep an eye on the RAM utilization, specially when onboarding a big number of new clients/VMs
