  • 1.  MAS Minimum Hardware Requirements

    Posted Fri January 06, 2023 12:48 PM
    I have been attempting to install MAS 8 but running into insufficient memory and cpu issues.
    I'm using the guide https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/mas-cd/continuous-delivery?topic=premises-installation-requirements for install.

    Currently stuck on setting up the storage cluster prerequisite, the Noobaa Management Console is not accessible. The pod noobaa-core-0 is pending with insufficient memory and cpu.

    My 3 master nodes each have 8 cpu cores and 32GB, 24GB, and 16GB memory assigned respectively. I don't really have more resources to grant but this seems massive overkill to run a single instance of MAS already.

    I'm not opposed to buying new hardware, but need to know how many resources I will need.
    My question is, what are the minimum required amount of cpu cores and memory for a basic install of MAS including prerequisites?

    I am running MAS 8.9 with Single Node Openshift (SNO) on a MacPro trashcan. It was ~$1,600 at OWC and works great.  It has a 12/24 core Xeon, 128 GB memory and 2TB storage.

    If you want details let me know.

    May I ask what your cluster usage statistics report? In the OpenShift console, Observe->Dashboards, Kubernetes/Computer Resources/Cluster.

    My utilization, request commitment, limit commitment for cpu are 28.73%, 76.20%, 79.97%; and for memory 66.88%, 85.42%, 71.91%
    My cpu utilization is low so I think I can manually adjust cpu requests by editing the YAML for pods, but I don't have room to trim memory requests.

    CPU commitment is high, but actual utilization is really low.

    Thanks. That's helpful.
    I may have to figure out why my cluster has more resources requests than yours.

    I am running it as SNO bare metal so that may have something to do with it.  Also I am running DB2 from an image that I created that is slimmed down from cloudpak for data so that may be part of it as well.

     

    Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want more details, happy to help.

    Hello we're trying to get quote for on prem MAS Infrastructure.  How much is recommended vCPU, Memory  and storage for  300 users with Manage Only enforcing 3 master/2 worker nodes?  Need recommended operating specs?  Thanks.
