Disabling hyperthreading on the Operations Manager server can substantially improve its 
performance. 
The following procedures may vary, depending on the vendor: 

1.  Enter the BIOS Configuration and Setup screen by powering up the server and 

pressing F1 during system startup. 

2.  Go to Advance Setup > Advance Processor Option > Hyperthread. 
3.  Select Disabled. 
4.  Press ESC, to return to the main menu. 
5.  Select Save Settings, and press Enter. 
6.  Select Exit Setup, and press Enter, to continue the reboot process with 

hyperthreading disabled.  

 

A test with a 16-hour polling cycle and a 1-minute sampling interval uses approximately 
60 to 100 KB per day. A path echo test with a 16-hour polling cycle, a 1-minute sampling 
interval, and 12 hops uses approximately 1.2 MB per day. 
 

You can use two servers and achieve a cold standby configuration. One Operations 
Manager server is used as the active server and the other server is left on cold standby 
and periodically synchronized with the active server using the servers DCRs. When the 
active server is taken offline, the cold server will have an up-to-date inventory and can 
quickly be made active. 
 

 

This section describes some pre requisites for redundant OM configurations.  
 
The first step is to have two identical servers available for configuration. One server 
acts as “Active” and the second a “Standby”. Please refer to the OM installation guide 
for the hardware specification of these servers.
