Preparing for installation
Hardware requirements
You can deploy Super Controller independently or deploy it together with the data center controller or
analyzer.
You can deploy a standalone super controller on one server or deploy a super controller cluster on
multiple servers. As a best practice, deploy a three-node super controller cluster.
Running on the server alone
show the hardware requirements for a server to host Super Controller only.

NIC
•
Non-bonding mode: 1 × 10 Gbps or
above Ethernet port
•
Bonding mode: 2 × 10 Gbps or above
Linux bonding interfaces
Remarks:
•
To deploy the
general_PLAT_kernel-region
application package, add one more CPU core and 6 GB
more memory.
•
To deploy the
general_PLAT_network
application package, add three more CPU cores and 16 GB
more memory.
•
Deploy Supper Controller in a version earlier than E3105 on Unified Platform in a version earlier than
E0706 (including E06xx). Make sure etcd has an exclusive use of a physical disk.
•
Deploy Supper Controller in E3105 or a later version on Unified Platform in E0706 or a later version.
etcd can share a physical disk with other partitions. As a best practice, use a physical disk exclusively
for etcd.
