We used to have the repository DB protected by service guard and two management servers. Upgrades were a pig. Failed multiple times and had long-running SRs.

We now run the whole lot OMS + DB on a single VM and use the virtual infrastructure to provide resilience between hosts and data centers. It's very easy to manage. Upgrades are simple. If something goes wrong, we pull back a snapshot/backup of the VM and we are sorted. I hope I never run Cloud Control on physical again.

I'm not saying it would be perfect for all situations, but I'm a big fan of Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS).

Cheers

Tim...
