System Requirements Overview

A ztC Edge system can support multiple virtual machines (VMs) and a remote management computer (that is, a general-purpose PC) that can run the ztC Console.

ztC Edge System Hardware specifications and requirements are summarized below.

For information on guest operating systems, see Compatible Guest Operating Systems.

System Hardware

RAM

Each PM has 32 GB of RAM (physical memory).

Disk Space

Each PM contains a 512 GB solid-state drive (SSD), of which approximately 475 GB is available for VMs.

Network

Each PM has four 1-Gb Ethernet ports, including:

The system also supports Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) lights-out support, which you can access over the P1 port of each PM.

ALSR configurations have different network requirements. For information, see Meeting Network Requirements .

See Network Architecture, A‑Link and Private Networks, and Business and Management Networks for more information.

IP Addresses

Each ztC Edge system must have a static IPv4 IP address assigned for use by the management software. Obtain IP addresses for DNS primary and secondary servers, and gateway and subnet mask information for your management network, from your IT network administrator. See Obtaining System IP Information for more information.

Ports

ztC Edge systems use port 443 in the local firewall for HTTPS communications, port 22 for ssh, and 5900-59nn for each active VNC associated with each VM. Firewalls must allow traffic through the appropriate ports. Firewalls must permit VMs to contact quorum service computers using UDP port 4557. For additional information on TCP and UDP ports, access the Knowledge Base to search for the article TCP and UDP ports used by ztC Edge (KB-9357). See Accessing Knowledge Base Articles.
