Thanks Sean. I've reviewed the Data OnTAP Edge 8.2 documentation and noticed the following. From page 14 (emphasis mine):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Server requirements
Your server should meet or exceed the following minimum requirements:
• Quad core, or two dual-core, 64-bit Intel x86 processors
• 2.27 GHz or greater processor speed
• 8 GB or greater memory
• 4 or more physical disks on the server
• Single Gigabit Ethernet network
• Hardware RAID - Must have a battery-backed write cache
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Then from page 15 (emphasis mine):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Data ONTAP Edge resource requirements
You can install only one Data ONTAP Edge storage system per ESX host. The Data ONTAP Edge
virtual machine requires the following resources from the host server:
• 2 dedicated physical CPU cores
• 4 GB of dedicated memory
• 20 GB disk space for system disk images and virtual machine metadata
The Data ONTAP-v virtual machine reserves two CPU cores and 4 GB of RAM from the host. You
cannot change these settings or the storage system will not boot. Limiting resources is not supported
and has not been tested. It can negatively impact the I/O capability of the storage system and could
risk data loss.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So I take it that the first list is minimum requirements for the server, but the EDGE VM itself must be configured as described in the second list. Is that accurate?
