Matrix KVM Private Cloud hardware
The Matrix KVM Private Cloud environment consists of:
A two-node failover KVM Management cluster in a High Availability design or a single KVM
Management host for the HP Matrix KVM Admin Console appliance.
A set of compute nodes (KVM hosts) for deployed virtual machine instances (up to 32 nodes,
hosting up to 2500 VMs).
Table 9 (page 12) lists the hardware requirements for the Management host based on the size of
the configuration (demo, small, medium, or large). By default, the Management host has a minimum
of four CPUs, 12 GB memory, a disk size of 160 GB, and a 5 TB glance volume. Table 10
(page 12) lists the hardware requirements for the compute nodes (KVM hosts).
