Scalability Recommendation For OpsMgr 2012
When managing large number of network devices in a distributed setup, use dedicated resource pools of Management
Servers for each device type, if the same Management Group is also used to manage agent-based devices:
1. Create a dedicated resource pool to manage each type of network device such as CMC and DRAC.
2. Add the Management Servers that manage a particular type of network-device to the corresponding resource pool.
3. Remove these Management Servers from All Management Servers resource pool.
