Generally, base the minimum configuration of any system on its expected peak load. Your
installation should spend 95% of its time idle and 5% of its time trying to keep pace with the
resource demands.

the following in mind:

• Performance capabilities have been completely reconfigured. When upgrading from previous
versions, you must (re-)create dashboards from scratch.
• The following require manual migration (export, then import) from previous versions: SMTP
settings. Some scheduled items.
• You must re-create topologies as Visualizations. (suggestion: take a screenshot)
• Group Operations have been deprecated, replaced by Adaptive CLIs.
• Command monitors must be recreated, and monitors must be re-configured to monitor
Adaptive CLIs that run external scripts.
• User Names / Passwords, and User Groups (Roles) are not automatically reassigned and must
be created manually.
