Nokia EDA node requirements

The Nokia EDA nodes are deployed as virtual machine servers. Node requirements summarizes the requirements of Nokia EDA nodes in KVM and VMware hypervisor.
Table 1. Node requirements
Component Requirement
CPU 32 vCPU on a modern x86-64 CPU
Memory 64GB
Storage
  • Operating system: 100GB of available SSD-based storage
  • Storage nodes: 300GB of available SSD-based storage on a separate virtual disk
Networking

  • at least one 10 Gbps NIC

  • the configured DNS servers must be reachable, functional, and able to resolve the hostnames used for the Nokia EDA nodes

  • Internet access directly or through a proxy

Virtualization platform You can run the Nokia EDA nodes as virtual machines using the following virtualization platforms:

  • operating system: VMware vSphere 7.0 or 8.0 or RHEL/Rocky

  • hypervisor: ESXi 7.0 or 8.0 or KVM

  • resource reservation for CPU, memory, and disks must be set to 100% for the Nokia EDA node virtual machines
