Environment Requirements

Before deploying oVirt, ensure that the environment meets the hardware and software requirements. The hardware environment includes CPUs and NICs. The software configuration includes the OS, JVM, and applications.

Networking

Nodes communicate with each other through Mellanox CX5.

Hardware and Software Requirements

Table 1 and Table 2 describe the hardware and software requirements for deploying oVirt.

**Table 1** Hardware requirements
Item	Management/Compute/Storage Node	Compute Node
Server	Kunpeng server	Kunpeng server
CPU	2 x Kunpeng 920	2 x Kunpeng 920
NIC	Mellanox CX5 (2 x 25GE)	Mellanox CX5 (2 x 25GE)

In this document, compute nodes and storage nodes are deployed on the same server.
