Prerequisites for ESXi

Please read the following prerequisites and deployment information prior to installing OmniVista Terra.

Pre-requisites:

1. Download the OVTX OVA file and Build release file ( .7z file) from the MyPortal website.

2. Have a VMware ESXi server with version 8.

Before starting the installation, ensure that the server has sufficient hardware resources for one of the following deployment options:

Option 1: High Availability (HA) Cluster

Deploy 3 OVTx nodes with High Availability (HA) support.

Each node requires:

• Processors: 8 vCPUs

• RAM: 32 GB

• System Disk: 200 GB

• Data Disk Size: 500 GB

Option 2: Single-Node Cluster

Deploy 1 OVTx node as a single-node cluster.

The node requires:

• Processors: 16 vCPUs

• RAM: 32 GB

• System Disk: 200 GB

• Data Disk Size: 500 GB

• Disk Type: SSD (Minimum 50 MB/s read/write speed) on the server.

• CPU Must Support AVX/AVX2 Instructions - In a vCenter cluster configuration, it is required to enable EVC mode with the CPU baseline set to “Ice Lake” (3rd Gen Xeon) or later. This ensures support for advanced CPU instruction sets such as AVX and AVX2. As a minimum requirement, the “Broadwell” baseline may be used.
