Management Center Policy Editor Works Slow

Products

• Management Center - VA

Issue/Introduction

Customer manages their policies at management center.

While trying to edit policies, editor worked too slow.

Should we increase the management center VM resources ?

Environment

Release : 3.3.2.3

Resolution

Yes, when Management Center Policy Editor in MC-VA demonstrates clear performance issues, a behavior not experienced on the standalone Proxy appliance, the challenge would most likely be with the sizing of the resources, on the VM hosting the MC-VA instance. In this case, it's recommended to review the sizing and possibly consider an increase.

The default configuration of MC VA can support up to 10 devices. Symantec delivers the following default VA configuration:

• CPU: 2 Cores
• RAM: 8 GB
• Disk 1: 4 GB
• Disk 2: 100 GB

To support more than 10 devices on an MC VA, an administrator must increase the requirements as listed in the following sections. So, there is the flexibility to do more.
