VM configuration¶
VM Configuration params¶
Suggested system configuration¶
| Recommended minimal config | Prod (recommended config) | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 2 CPU / core | 4-8 CPU / core |
| RAM | 3 GB | 8 GB |
| Hard disk | 30GB | 100GB - 1TB |
Provided VM is configured this way:
- 1 CPU with 2 cores
- RAM: 3GB
- Disk space: 30GB
This configuration is not enough for a minimal production environment, adding more CPUs or cores is required.
VM setup¶
When creating a VM, you may not want to give VMWare all the information about the system. The reason behind this is because VMWare is smart enough to automatically handle some SO installation stages; this stages will be skipped on the UI, and this will make the deployment procedure different than one performed on a real machine.
Setting up VMWare¶
Sample settings for creating a new VM:
- VM configuration: Custom
- HW compatibility: workstation 8
- Install OS from: I will install the the operationg system later
- Guest OS: Linux Centos 64-bit
- VM name: setup the name
- Processors: 1 processor, 2 cores
- Memory: 6144MB
- Network connection: bridged
Then configure the disk as you need. 1 This is a sample configuration:
- I/O Controller type: LSI Logic
- Disk: create a new virtual disk
- Virtual disk type: SCSI
- Mode: Independent, persistent
- Max disk size: 30G, store virtual disk as a single file.
Then configure the DVD reader setting the ISO image of the OSinstaller, and start the VM.
