About the consumption of the managed host components
The managed host components of Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager consume a certain amount of CPU, memory, and network bandwidth for various functions.
Various processes and services in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager impose different amounts of load on the managed hosts. The processes and services and their consumption on the managed host are as follows:
UNIX/Linux - Uses the XPRTLD, VXDCLID, sfmh-discovery.pl daemons. The CPU and the memory consumption for these daemons is minimal on a managed host.
Windows - Uses the XPRTLD daemon. The CPU and the memory consumption for this daemon is minimal on a managed host.
Discovery - The discovery in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager is ephemeral. Therefore, the CPU and the memory consumption for the discovery is minimal on a managed host.
The network bandwidth consumption for the managed hosts is primarily related to the heartbeats that occur every five minutes. The heartbeat operation sends data that has a size of less than 1KB to Management Server. The data reporting occurs only if there is a configuration change on the storage objects that are associated to the managed host. A certain amount of network bandwidth is also used for the data replication.
