• Pre-requisites for a one-node (1 VM) installation

Pre-requisites (Three Nodes):

1. Download the OVTX OVA file and Build release file ( .7z file) from the MyPortal website.

2. Have a VMware ESXi server with version 8.

The information below provides required minimum hypervisor configurations for the OmniVista Terra VM. You will need to install 3 nodes for OV Terra each with the below mentioned requirements. Check hardware availability on the server before installation.

Hardware Requirements per Virtual Machine:

• Processors: 8 vCPU @ 3Ghz Minimum

• Processors: 16 vCPU @ 3Ghz Minimum (For large-scale deployments with more than 2,000 devices)

• CPU Must Support AVX/AVX2 Instructions - In a vCenter cluster configuration, it is required to enable EVC mode with the CPU baseline set to “Ice Lake” (3rd Gen Xeon) or later. This ensures support for advanced CPU instruction sets such as AVX and AVX2. As a minimum requirement, the “Broadwell” baseline may be used. AMD CPU Excavator (2015+) is also supported.
