Flash Accel Management Console host requirements
The ESXi server that hosts the
Flash Accel
Management Console (FMC) must meet minimum resource requirements. Review these requirements before deploying the FMC virtual appliance.
Resource
Minimum Requirements
ESXi Server
Hardware and software must be 64-bit.
Network
1 Gigabit Ethernet connection for fastest installation (optional).
By default, the FMC uses DHCP to communicate with the IP network.
Virtual CPUs
The FMC reserves 2 vCPUs.
Virtual Memory
The FMC reserves 4 GB vRAM.
The FMC can manage a maximum of 250 virtual machines with the reserved memory. Increase the memory if you plan to manage more VMs.
Storage
The datastore requires at least 30 GB of disk capacity for installed files and the FMC database.
Do not deploy the FMC on a host on which you are planning to cache VMs.
Flash Accel
software for the host can only be installed when the host is in maintenance mode. Putting the host in maintenance mode requires that you shut down or migrate the FMC VM.
