Installing SANsymphony Virtual Machine

See the Proxmox best practices for the basic Microsoft Windows configuration here.

Sizing of the Virtual Machine

The sizing of the SANsymphony Virtual Machine (VM) is dependent on the specific requirements of the environment.

For productive environments, it is recommend to start with the following:

• vCPU = 6
• RAM = 24 GB
• OS/SSY Disk = 100GB
• vNIC = 2x Frondend & 2 x Mirror

If a larger number of VMs or the use of functions such as snapshots or similar is planned in the deployment scenario, the resources must be adapted accordingly. For more information, refer to the DataCore Technical Support Portal or SANsymphony web help.

The system requirements for the VM hardware are lower for test and validation installations. The prerequisites are as follows:

• vCPU = 4
• RAM = 16 GB
• OS/SSY Disk = 60 GB
• vNIC = 1x Frondend & 1 x Mirror

The recommended sizing is not designed for performance testing and is only intended for understanding the general functionality and operation of the software.
