Prerequisites for Installing NetScaler Gateway VPX on
XenServer or VMware ESX
Jul 18, 2013
NetScaler Gateway VPX is supported on the following minimum versions of XenServer and VMware hypervisors:
XenServer 5 with Update 3
VMWare ESX or ESXi 3.5
The following table describes the minimum specifications for the hardware on which the hypervisor— XenServer, VMware
ESX, or VMware ESXi— runs Access Gateway VPX Versions 9.3 or 10, and NetScaler Gateway VPX 10.1.
For VMware system requirements, see the
web site.
Minimum requirements for the physical host server include:
Table 1. Minimum Hardware Requirements for the Hypervisor Host
CPU
Two or more 64-bit x86 CPUs with virtual assist enabled.
RAM
At least 4 gigabytes (GB).
Disk space
Locally attached storage (PATA, SATA, SCSI) with minimum of 20 GB of disk space.
Network
One 1 Gbps network adapter required; Recommended: Two network adapters of 1 Gbps each.
For NetScaler Gateway VPX installed on VMware, the network adapter should be E1000.
Important Notes
To run NetScaler Gateway VPX, you must enable hardware support for virtualization on the XenServer or VMware ESX
host. Make sure that the BIOS option for virtualization support is enabled. Consult your BIOS documentation for more
details.
XenServer installation creates a 4-GB partition for the XenServer host control domain; the remaining space is available
for NetScaler Gateway VPX and other virtual machines.
XenServer and VMware must provide adequate virtual computing resources to the NetScaler Gateway VPX as listed in the
following table.
