Minimum server hardware requirements

The Linux® server upon which IBM® Spectrum Connect is installed should meet the following minimum hardware requirements:

  • 64-bit dual-core CPU
  • 4 GB of RAM
  • 16 GB of free disk space
  • 4 GB swap space

The same requirements apply if a virtual machine is used instead of a physical server.

Note:
  • For best performance, use a dedicated server.
  • The minimum requirements are for supporting up to 20 storage systems and up to 1000 objects (storage resources, volumes, hosts, mappings, snapshots, mirroring groups, consistency groups).
