Supported Hypervisors for the DMF Controller
The DMF controller node supports a Virtual Machine (VM) or an appliance on the following hypervisors and software versions:Platforms
| Supported Hypervisors | Version |
|---|---|
| Linux KVM | Ubuntu 16.04
Ubuntu 18.04 Ubuntu 20.04 |
| VMware ESXi | Version 6.5.0
Version 6.7.0 Version 7.0.0 Version 8.0.0 |
Note: Arista Networks does not support any other hypervisors or versions for this release.
Hardware Requirements for DMF Controller VM Deployment
VM performance depends on many other factors, so the recommendation is to select the DMF Controller Node hardware appliance for production deployments.
The following is the minimum hardware required for installing the VM software image on a supported KVM or ESXi version:
- Eight vCPUs with a minimum scheduling of 2 GHz.
- 32 GB of virtual memory.
- 400 GB hard disk.
