After testing different virtual machine configurations in the lab, the final SENSR server roles were deployed with the following specification. This configuration ensured that each system resource utilization was <75% at any given time.
Role | vCPU | Memory | Disk | GPU |
Main only1 | 12 | 32 GB | 200 GB | 1/4 of A162 |
Algo-1 | 12 | 32 GB | 200 GB | 1/4 of A16 |
Algo-2 | 12 | 32 GB | 200 GB | 1/4 of A16 |
Algo-3 | 12 | 32 GB | 200 GB | 1/4 of A16 |
With this configuration, the maximum number of Algo/Main VMs per VxRail node is 8 assuming no other workloads are competing for CPU or GPU resources on that node.
For these types of larger deployments, consult with your Dell representative who will discuss your scenario in more detail before finalizing a system design.
