System Requirements

Before you start deploying Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore, make sure the virtual environment and the backup infrastructure components meet the following requirements.

Specification

Requirement

Virtualization Platform

Veeam Plug-in for Scale Computing HyperCore supports Scale Computing HyperCore version 9.4.32.218226 (or later).

Veeam Software

Veeam Backup & Replication version 12.3.2 or later must be deployed on the backup server.

Workers

Workers process backup workload and distribute backup traffic when transferring data to backup repositories. If you deploy a worker using the default configuration, the following compute resources will be allocated:

  • CPU: 6 vCPU
  • Memory: 6 GB RAM
  • Disk Space: 100 GB for product installation and logs

With the default configuration, the worker can handle up to 4 concurrent backup and restore tasks. While deploying a new worker or editing settings of an existing one, you can increase the maximum number of concurrent tasks. However, you must allocate 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM for each additional task. When configuring the maximum number of concurrent tasks, you must also take into account the network traffic throughput in your virtual infrastructure.

 

Important

Workers are backup infrastructure components that are preconfigured for optimal performance. That is why you must not install any software on VMs running as workers or make any configuration changes to them unless you are requested by Veeam Customer Support.
