Hi Sebastian, I have a vCMP guest running with LTM and need to add there ASM. How much resources do I have to add to the guest so it can now support LTM and ASM. Thanks.

    Hi Edouard,

     It gonna depend on the device you have VCMP, the minimum requirement will be 2 CPU for the guest of LTM+ASM, but if you process a lot of traffic the most recommended will be 4 CPUs, in some cases, you have to dedicate all resources of the device to ASM+LTM depending of the number of webs you want to protect, type of traffic for the webs, type of protection you enabled, etc, etc.
