System Requirements¶

Hardware Requirements¶

The minimum required hardware specification for the Director setup should be:

For Fabric Servers and API Server/Director Console:

Component	Requirement
Number of vCPU	Minimum 4
RAM	Minimum 8 GB
HDD	Minimum 100 GB

For LPSM:

Component	Requirement
Number of vCPU	Minimum 2
RAM	Minimum 8 GB
HDD	Minimum 100 GB

For Fabric-enabled LogPoint instances:

Component	Requirement
Number of vCPU	Minimum 4
RAM	Minimum 8 GB
HDD	Minimum 100 GB

Note

All components of the Director setup must be installed in a Virtual Environment.
Depending on log volume, hardware requirements are subject to change.
The ZFS (Zettabyte File System), used in the LogPoint Director, itself provides a software-defined solution for disk-based redundancy (Mirror, RAIDZ). Hence, it is not recommended to use hardware-based RAID. Doing so limits the ZFS to perform self-healing on checksum failures.
When selecting the RAIDZ mode, the first three disks are used for OS and Application installation. The remaining disks, if any, can be used to extend the disk space or used as L2ARC (Level 2 Adjustable Replacement Cache) or ZIL (ZFS Intent Log) for enhancing the read/write performance of ZFS. This can be done using ZFS commands.

Supported Browsers¶

The following browsers best support LogPoint Director components:

Safari (latest)
Google Chrome (latest)
Firefox (latest)

Port information of the Director setup¶

To establish a connection within or outside the Director setup when using a network firewall:

Description	Ports required
Connection from Director components to other servers (NTP, DNS, and for support connection)	UDP: 123 (NTP), 53 (DNS), 1193 (support connection)
Connection between the Fabric Servers (in a cluster setup)	ICMP: To ping TCP: 22, 88, 464, 749, 750, 754, 2181, 2121, 8485, 9000, 10004, 10006, 50020, 50475, 51070, 2888, 3888 UDP: 88, 464, 750, 1194
Connection from the Fabric Server to the API Server, LPSM or LogPoint	ICMP: To ping
Connection from the API Server to the Fabric Server	ICMP: To ping TCP: 22 UDP: 1194
Connection from the LPSM to the Fabric Server	ICMP: To ping UDP: 1194
Connection from the LogPoint to the Fabric Server	ICMP: To ping UDP: 1194
Access to LPSM UI, Director Console API, and Director Console UI	ICMP: To ping TCP: 443
Connection to SNMP	ICMP: To ping UDP: 161

Version specific requirements¶

Director v2.6.0¶

To install LPSM v2.6.0, your CPU must support Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX). You can check your CPU’s AVX compatibility using the following command:

grep avx /proc/cpuinfo

If there is no output after running the command, your CPU doesn’t support AVX.
