Changed the requirements for Safari to the same level as Firefox and Google Chrome. IMHO if a (more or less) major browser doesn't get updated once a year, one should probably look for an alternative. Signed-off-by: Tim Marx <t.marx@proxmox.com>

System Requirements

|
||
|
||
For production servers, high quality server equipment is needed. Keep
|
||
in mind, if you run 10 Virtual Servers on one machine and you then
|
||
experience a hardware failure, 10 services are lost. {pve}
|
||
supports clustering, this means that multiple {pve} installations
|
||
can be centrally managed thanks to the included cluster functionality.
|
||
|
||
{pve} can use local storage (DAS), SAN, NAS and also distributed
|
||
storage (Ceph RBD). For details see xref:chapter_storage[chapter storage].
|
||
|
||
|
||
Minimum Requirements, for Evaluation
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
* CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64)
|
||
|
||
* Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard for KVM Full Virtualization support
|
||
|
||
* RAM: 1 GB RAM, plus additional RAM used for guests
|
||
|
||
* Hard drive
|
||
|
||
* One NIC
|
||
|
||
|
||
Recommended System Requirements
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
* Intel EMT64 or AMD64 with Intel VT/AMD-V CPU flag.
|
||
|
||
* Memory, minimum 2 GB for OS and Proxmox VE services. Plus designated memory
|
||
for guests. For Ceph or ZFS additional memory is required, approximately 1 GB
|
||
memory for every TB used storage.
|
||
|
||
* Fast and redundant storage, best results with SSD disks.
|
||
|
||
* OS storage: Hardware RAID with batteries protected write cache (``BBU'') or
|
||
non-RAID with ZFS and SSD cache.
|
||
|
||
* VM storage: For local storage use a hardware RAID with battery backed
|
||
write cache (BBU) or non-RAID for ZFS. Neither ZFS nor Ceph are compatible
|
||
with a hardware RAID controller. Shared and distributed storage is also
|
||
possible.
|
||
|
||
* Redundant Gbit NICs, additional NICs depending on the preferred storage
|
||
technology and cluster setup – 10 Gbit and higher is also supported.
|
||
|
||
* For PCI passthrough a CPU with VT-d/AMD-d CPU flag is needed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Simple Performance Overview
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
On an installed {pve} system, you can run the included `pveperf` script
|
||
to obtain an overview of the CPU and hard disk performance.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: this is just a very quick and general benchmark. More detailed tests
|
||
are recommended, especially regarding the I/O performance of your system.
|
||
|
||
Supported web browsers for accessing the web interface
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
To use the web interface you need a modern browser, this includes:
|
||
|
||
* Firefox, a release from the current year, or the latest Extended
|
||
Support Release
|
||
* Chrome, a release from the current year
|
||
* Microsoft's currently supported versions of Internet Explorer (as
|
||
of 2019, this means IE 11 or IE Edge)
|
||
* Safari, a release from the current year
|
||
|
||
If {pve} detects you're connecting from a mobile device, you will be
|
||
redirected to a lightweight touch-based UI.
