Hardware

You can find information about the hardware requirements for different operating systems that support HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy).

AIX

The hardware requirements to run the HCL Deploy on AIX operating system are as follows:

Hardware Components Requirement

Disk space

Deploy Agent

Minimum of 2 GB.

Deploy Server

Deploy Relay

Memory

Deploy Agent

Minimum of 2 GB.

Deploy Server

Java Heap requirements:

A minimum of 2 GB is required for evaluation purposes, such as proof of concept (POC) instance or a small demo environment.

The Xmx setting must be increased for production purposes as follows:
  • <500 agents: ~4 GB
  • 500-5000 agents: ~13 GB
  • 5000-15000 agents: ~24 GB

Native memory:

The minimum required memory is 4 GB for POC, 4 GB for production, for the additional memory required beyond the Java Heap.

Deploy Relay

Network: adapters, drivers, protocols

Deploy Agent

 Gigabit (1000) Ethernet with low-latency to the database.

Deploy Server

Deploy Relay

Processor

Deploy Server

The server requires approximately double the CPU capacity of a relay. So, given the number of agents (800) and 2 cores per 500 agents on the relay, use an 8-core machine available for the server.

Deploy Relay

Deploy Agent

2-Core processor

For z/OS only: The HCL Deploy agent for z/OS runs on HCL System zEnterprise EC12 or zEnterprise BC12 machines and later that support the required z/OS operating system

Product specific

Deploy Server

Agent Relay minimum system requirements.

Without artifact caching:
  • HDD - 2 GB
  • CPU - 2
  • RAM - 2 GB

With artifact caching, use the foruma:

HDD - 2GB + the cache size *2

Deploy Relay

Storage hardware

Deploy Server
Individual requirements depend on usage, retention policies, and application types. In general, the larger number of artifacts kept in HCL Deploy's artifact repository (CodeStation), the more storage is required.
Note: CodeStation is installed when the Deploy server is installed.
For production environments, use the following guidelines to determine storage requirements:

  • 200-400 GB of database storage is typically sufficient for most environments.

  • To calculate CodeStation storage requirements, use the following formula:
    average artifact size * number of versions imported per day * average number of days before cleanup

  • Approximately 1 MB per deployment of database storage; varies based on local requirements.
