We recommend using high quality server hardware, when running {pve} in
|
|
production. To further decrease the impact of a failed host, you can run {pve} in
|
|
a cluster with highly available (HA) virtual machines and containers.
|
|
|
|
{pve} can use local storage (DAS), SAN, NAS, and distributed storage like Ceph
|
|
RBD. For details see xref:chapter_storage[chapter storage].

Minimum Requirements, for Evaluation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
These minimum requirements are for evaluation purposes only and should not be
|
|
used in production.
|
|
|
|
* 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 needed for guests
|
|
|
|
* Hard drive
|
|
|
|
* One network card (NIC)
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[install_recommended_requirements]]
|
|
Recommended System Requirements
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Intel EMT64 or AMD64 with Intel VT/AMD-V CPU flag.
|
|
|
|
* Memory: Minimum 2 GB for the OS and {pve} services, plus designated memory for
|
|
guests. For Ceph and ZFS, additional memory is required; approximately 1GB of
|
|
memory for every TB of used storage.
|
|
|
|
* Fast and redundant storage, best results are achieved with SSDs.
|
|
|
|
* OS storage: Use a hardware RAID with battery protected write cache (``BBU'')
|
|
or non-RAID with ZFS (optional SSD for ZIL).
|
|
|
|
* VM storage:
|
|
** For local storage, use either a hardware RAID with battery backed write cache
|
|
(BBU) or non-RAID for ZFS and Ceph. Neither ZFS nor Ceph are compatible with a
|
|
hardware RAID controller.
|
|
** Shared and distributed storage is possible.
|
|
|
|
* Redundant (Multi-)Gbit NICs, with additional NICs depending on the preferred
|
|
storage technology and cluster setup.
|
|
|
|
* For PCI(e) passthrough the CPU needs to support the VT-d/AMD-d flag.

|
Simple Performance Overview
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To get an overview of the CPU and hard disk performance on an installed {pve}
|
|
system, run the included `pveperf` tool.
|
|
|
|
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 access the web-based user interface, we recommend using one of the following
|
|
browsers:
|
|
|
|
* Firefox, a release from the current year, or the latest Extended Support Release
|
|
* Chrome, a release from the current year
|
|
* Microsoft's currently supported version of Edge
|
|
* Safari, a release from the current year
|
|
|
|
When accessed from a mobile device, {pve} will show a lightweight, touch-based
|
|
interface.
