ESXi Specifications

Prev Next

Each virtual appliance running on ESXi servers must meet the following specifications. All CPU cores are Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4, with 2.20 GHz processor (minimum). All virtual Network Security models (except NX 1500V) running Release 8.2.2 and later must run on hosts that support the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) instruction set on the host processors.

For NX 10500V, the interfaces should be MAC-ID sorted. To achieve 8.5 Gbps throughput on NX 10500V, the interfaces should be i40e-based NICs, and Single-root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) should be supported and enabled on each interface.
