High availability recommendations for Real End User Experience Monitoring Software Edition

The requirements and recommendations for providing high availability (HA) for BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring components are as follows:

• To increase the likelihood that a VM has sufficient resources when it restarts, set its HA restart priority to High.
• For the Real User Analyzer, do not configure the isolation response to switch power off. Also, BMC recommends that you test all failover targets to ensure that any Real User Collector feeds are available to the Real User Analyzer.
