Virtual Appliance Requirements

AFM runs as a virtual appliance. It requires the following software to host the solution:

• VMware® vSphere® Hypervisor (ESXi) 5.1 and higher (must meet virtual appliance, port access, and listening port

requirements)

NOTE: VMware® vCenter™ is required for HA and FT.

Deploy the OVF with HA and FT

The following are required to implement High Availability (HA) and Fault Tolerance (FT) using a VMware® ESX® Virtual

Machine:

• VMware® vCenter™ 5.0 Standard License

• ESXi® 5.0 Enterprise Plus License

• Dell M1000e chassis, if you are using MXL Blade switches.

• Shared storage for the OVF

NOTE: By default, the AFM VM CPU is set to 2. To use the HA feature, change the virtual CPU to 1.

Deploy the OVF without HA and FT

The following are required to deploy AFM without the HA/FT solution, using a VMware® ESX® Virtual Machine:

• VMware® ESXi® 5.0 Open Source License

• Servers (rack or blade switch). If you are using MXL blade switches, requires a M1000e blade chassis

• Shared storage for the OVF

NOTE: By default, the AFM VM CPU is set to 2.

Deploy the OVF with HA

When you deploy the AFM with HA only using a VMware® ESX® VM, the requirements are as follows:

• VMware® ESXi® 5.0 Open Source License
