5.3. Minimum System Requirements
5.3.1. Management Server, Database, and Storage System
Requirements
The machines that will run the Management Server and MySQL database must meet the following
requirements. The same machines can also be used to provide primary and secondary storage, such
as via local disk or NFS. The Management Server may be placed on a virtual machine.
• Operating system:
• Preferred: RHEL 6.2 or 6.3 64-bit (https://access.redhat.com/downloads)
• Also supported: RHEL 5.5 64-bit
• It is highly recommended that you purchase a RHEL support license. Citrix support can not be
responsible for helping fix issues with the underlying OS.
• 64-bit x86 CPU (more cores results in better performance)
• 4 GB of memory
• 50 GB of local disk (when secondary storage is on the same machine with the Management Server,
500GB is recommended)
• At least 1 NIC
• Statically allocated IP address
• Fully qualified domain name as returned by the hostname command
• Use the default user file-creation mode mask (umask). The value is 022.
If the value is not 022, several files might not be accessible to the cloud user, which leads to
installation failure.
5.3.2. Host/Hypervisor System Requirements
The host is where the cloud services run in the form of guest virtual machines. Each host is one
machine that meets the following requirements:
• Must support HVM (Intel-VT or AMD-V enabled).
• 64-bit x86 CPU (more cores results in better performance)
• Hardware virtualization support required
• 4 GB of memory
• 36 GB of local disk
• At least 1 NIC
• Latest hotfixes applied to hypervisor software
• When you deploy CloudPlatform, the hypervisor host must not have any VMs already running
