Description Andrew Dahms 2016-08-24 01:46:49 UTC
Section '1.2 Requirements' in the Deployment Planning Guide should be re-structured into a section the looks like the following -

1.2 Requirements
  - Brief introduction.
1.2.1 Hardware Requirements
  - Hardware requirements for the appliance 
1.2.2 Browser Requirements
  - Existing content on browser requirements

Comment 1 Andrew Dahms 2016-08-24 01:50:25 UTC
Hardware requirements -

4 VCPUs
8 GB RAM
44 GB HDD + optional database disk

Comment 2 Andrew Dahms 2016-08-24 01:52:08 UTC
Section "2.3. Database Sizing Assistant" should also probably be moved to this new section and renamed something along the lines of "Database Requirements".

Comment 3 Tsai Li Ming 2016-08-24 02:07:13 UTC
Is the 8GB still a recommended min? 

I keep having to use 12GB because cf was just too slow with C&U turned on and keep entering into swap.

Assigning to Dayle for review.

Dayle - we'll want to needinfo Loic for review of this after it gets in and seek confirmation of the values, just to make sure. We may also need to update the installation guides to match when this is done.

Comment 7 Loic Avenel 2016-09-01 06:17:39 UTC
Yes, I am good with this, I am only thinking as it is coming only in virtual appliance, should we say "virtual Hardware requirement" to avoid confusion... some people may think this is ok for Physical requirement also...

Comment 8 Dayle Parker 2016-09-02 00:43:02 UTC
Thank you, Loic! I've made that change now, and will update these requirements in the 4.0 docs as well.

Comment 9 Dayle Parker 2016-09-02 03:27:59 UTC
Loic, I meant to ask also (apologies) -- are the virtual hardware requirements the same for CloudForms 4.0?

Comment 10 Loic Avenel 2016-09-06 09:47:28 UTC
Yes, it was the same for 4.0

Comment 11 Dayle Parker 2016-09-08 06:10:23 UTC
Thank you for confirming, Loic.
