E Small DSR VM Configuration

Many customers do not need the capacity provided by even a single pair of standard size DSR DA-MP VMs. The fixed configuration in this section is for customers who need the following configuration:
  • Relay or RBAR applications
  • 6k MPS or less (assuming an infrastructure equal to or better than the X5-2 processors used for the benchmark tests)
  • 5K or less RBAR entries
  • No IPFE
This configuration should be run with the 6k DA-MP profile.

Table E-1 Minimal System VM Configurations and Affinity Rules

VM Name vCPU RAM (GB) Disk (GB) Max Config Redundancy Models Affinity/Placement Rules (Per Site) Notes
DSR NOAM 4 8 120 1 Pair Active/Standby 2 VMs for each DSR network in any site. VMs to be deployed on separate servers if possible. Two NOAMs are always required to support upgrades, but they can be on the same server if only one server is available.
DSR SOAM 4 8 120 1 Pair per DSR NF Active/Standby
DA-MP 4 8 120 1 or 2 per DSR NF 1 or 1+1 The 1+1 configuration should have the DA-MPs on different servers. There is a little value in having redundant DA-MPs (1+1) if they are on the same server, since the server is the thing that is most likely to fail.
