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:

...

Minimum Requirement

All-in-one Controller Node

Number of servers

1

Minimum processor class

  • Dual-CPU Intel® Xeon® E5 26xx family (SandyBridge) 8 cores/socket

or

  • Single-CPU Intel® Xeon® D-15xx family, 8 cores (low-power/low-cost option)

Minimum memory

32 GB

Primary disk

500 GB (It's better to be SSD or NVMe)

Additional disks

  • 1 or more 500 GB for Ceph OSD

  • Recommended, but not required: 1 or more SSDs or NVMe drives for Ceph journals (min. 1024 MiB per OSD journal)

Minimum network ports

  • OAM: 1x1GE

  • Data: 1 or more x 10GE (optional)

BIOS settings

  • Hyper-Threading technology enabled

  • Virtualization technology enabled

  • VT for directed I/O enabled

  • CPU power and performance policy set to performance

  • 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).
