INF bare metal All-in-one Simplex (1 node)

This section describes the hardware requirements and server preparation for a INF bare metal All-in-one Simplex deployment configuration.


The All-in-one Simplex (AIO-SX) deployment option provides all three cloud functions (controller, worker, and storage) on a single server with the following benefits:

  • Requires only a small amount of cloud processing and storage power
  • Application consolidation using multiple containers or virtual machines on a single pair of physical servers
  • A storage backend solution using a single-node CEPH deployment

  • CPU C state control disabled

  • Plug & play BMC detection disabled


INF bare metal All-in-one Duplex (2 nodes)

This section describes the hardware requirements and server preparation for a INF bare metal All-in-one Duplex deployment configuration.


The All-in-one Duplex (AIO-DX) deployment option provides a pair of high availability (HA) servers with each server providing all three cloud functions (controller, worker, and storage).

An AIO-DX configuration provides the following benefits:

  • Only a small amount of cloud processing and storage power is required
  • Application consolidation using multiple containers or virtual machines on a single pair of physical servers
  • High availability (HA) services run on the controller function across two physical servers in either active/active or active/standby mode
  • A storage back end solution using a two-node CEPH deployment across two servers
  • Containers or virtual machines scheduled on both worker functions
  • Protection against overall server hardware fault, where
  • All controller HA services go active on the remaining healthy server
  • All virtual machines are recovered on the remaining healthy server
