= VMware vSphere infrastructure requirements
|
|
|
|
You must install an {product-title} cluster on one of the following versions of a VMware vSphere instance that meets the requirements for the components that you use:
|
|
|
|
* Version 7.0 Update 2 or later
|
|
* Version 8.0 Update 1 or later
|
|
|
|
Both of these releases support Container Storage Interface (CSI) migration, which is enabled by default on {product-title} {product-version}.
|
|
|
|
You can host the VMware vSphere infrastructure on-premise or on a link:https://cloud.vmware.com/providers[VMware Cloud Verified provider] that meets the requirements outlined in the following tables:

|===
|
|
|Virtual environment product |Required version
|
|
|VMware virtual hardware | 15 or later
|
|
|vSphere ESXi hosts | 7.0 Update 2 or later; 8.0 Update 1 or later

You must ensure that the time on your ESXi hosts is synchronized before you install {product-title}. See link:https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-8756D419-A878-4AE0-9183-C6D5A91A8FB1.html[Edit Time Configuration for a Host] in the VMware documentation.

|
|Component | Minimum supported versions |Description
|
|
|
|
|Hypervisor
|
|
|vSphere 7.0 Update 2 (or later) or vSphere 8.0 Update 1 (or later) with virtual hardware version 15
|
|
|This hypervisor version is the minimum version that {op-system-first} supports. For more information about supported hardware on the latest version of {op-system-base-full} that is compatible with {op-system}, see link:https://catalog.redhat.com/hardware/search[Hardware] on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

|
|
|
|Optional: Networking (NSX-T)

[IMPORTANT]
|
|
====
|
|
To ensure the best performance conditions for your cluster workloads that operate on {oci-first} and on the {ocvs-first} service, ensure volume performance units (VPUs) for your block volume are sized for your workloads.
|
|
|
|
The following list provides some guidance in selecting the VPUs needed for specific performance needs:
|
|
|
|
* Test or proof of concept environment: 100 GB, and 20 to 30 VPUs.
|
|
* Base-production environment: 500 GB, and 60 VPUs.
|
|
* Heavy-use production environment: More than 500 GB, and 100 or more VPUs.
|
|
|
|
Consider allocating additional VPUs to give enough capacity for updates and scaling activities. See link:https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Block/Concepts/blockvolumeperformance.htm[Block Volume Performance Levels] in the Oracle documentation.
