fsi deploy server
The fsi deploy server is a physical or virtual Server. The settings you need for each are followed now:
pyhsical server
- CPU: at least 2 CPUs
- RAM: at least 8GB (depending on the number of server)
- Network Cards: at least 2 NICs, able to configure VLAN
- Untagged/nativ VLAN of all NIC ports should be the server management VLAN, the deploy server need in this mgmt network a IP
- For every VLAN / network, you want to install a ESXi, XenServer or Linux Server, this VLAN have to connect to the deploy server as a tagged VLAN
- Tagged VLAN for replication (heartbeat / unrouted VLAN) + IP
- at least 300 GB HD = 120 GB local (Raid 1 or 5) + approx. 180 GB network storage (nfs, LUN)
- Remote Board (e.g. HP iLO) with vCD-ROM to mount ISO files
virtual machine
- CPU: at least 2 CPUs, no MHz resource assigment needed
- RAM: at least 12GB RAM (depending on the number of server)
- Network Cards: at least 2 VMXNET3 or E1000 network cards
- VM hardware version: VMWare VM Version 9 or higher
- VM OS Option: Linux CentOS 4/5/6/7 64bit
- Options: BIOS, 10000 milliseconds boot count
- vCD-ROM + access to ISO storage and access right for mounting iso
- Two possibilities:
- 2 * NIC E1000 manual MAC: port group with VLAN ID 4095, port group promiscuous mode = accept, NICs as nativ VLAN in out server mgmt network
- 1 * NIC E1000 manual MAC: port group with nativ VLAN as fixed VLAN config + 1 * NIC E1000 manual MAC: port group promiscuous mode = accept with VLAN 4095
- Tagged VLAN for replication (heartbeat / unrouted VLAN) + IP or own E1000 NIC with fix VLAN ID
- In every VLAN / network, in which you plan to install a ESXi, XenServer or linux server, you need a VLAN tagged network
- at least 300 GB HD = 120 GB local (Raid 1 or 5) + approx. 180 GB network storage (nfs, LUN)
- Access rights for power on and off, ISO mount to the virtual machine
- Access to the matching vm tools to install
