Describe the issue: In document *Planning your Deployment* In section 7 *Infrastructure requirements* In chapter 7.3 *Resource requirements* It is really difficult for someone to understand what are the resource requirements per ODF node, especially when ODF is deployed in stretched mode with a minimum number of 4 nodes + arbiter or when ODF is deployed on more than 3 nodes. Note also that the numbers given in the *External* row do not correspond to 3 nodes, but correspond only to 1 node, which increases again the confusion. Describe the task you were trying to accomplish: I would rephrase the documentation to simplify understanding of the requirements per node. Suggestions for improvement: For each ODF node in an Internal deployment mode, the resource requirements can be computed using the following formulas : CPU (logical) : [ 8 + ( number of drives per node ) * 2 ] cores RAM (GiB) : [ 19 + ( number of drives per node ) * 5 ] GiB It is mandatory to have a minimum of 1 drive per node and a minimum of 3 nodes to be able to deploy correctly an ODF Internal mode cluster in a single DC. For each ODF node in an external deployment mode, the resource requirements are only defined by : CPU (logical) : 4 cores per node RAM (GiB) : 16 GiB per node All related tables 7.1, 7.4, 7.5 can then be easily computed accordingly. Note that the same computation could be adapted the same way for a deployment on both IBM Power and IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE.
