System Requirements

Important

The requirements listed below are the minimum recommended values for the CML 2.0 virtual machine. Using these values may restrict the number of nodes in a simulation and could impact system performance. It is important to plan ahead and allocate resources based on the expected number and types of nodes in the simulations that the system will run.

Virtual Machine Resource Allocation

System Resource	Minimum Requirements (default configuration)
Memory	8 GB
CPU*	4 (physical cores) *Must support VTx and EPT or AMDv and RVI. These CPU flags are required for nested virtualization.
Network	1 Interface
Hard Disk	16 GB or more
Hardware Version	The OVA file’s hardware version is 10. The Supported Software table lists the supported virtualization platforms.

Supported Software

Virtualization Platform	Version
VMware Workstation	14 or later
VMware Fusion Pro	10 or later
VMware Player	14 or later
VMware ESXi	6.5 or later
Browser	HTML5 capable browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
