Orchestrator Host System Requirements — On-Prem for Release 9.5.X and Earlier
This document outlines the recommended resources for running Orchestrator release 9.5.X and earlier when deployed on prem.
-
These requirements do not include the resources needed by the hypervisor itself, which requires additional dedicated core CPU, memory, and storage to operate.
-
Reserve allocated RAM for virtual appliances to function optimally.
-
Reserve vCPU sockets and vCPU clock settings for virtual appliances to function optimally.
-
For non-VMware hypervisors, an extra core should be reserved for hypervisor tasks.
