Bare Metal Server Prerequisites

Basic System Requirements
The minimum system requirements for a bare metal server that will be added as a target for PMB are outlined below.
| Resource Type | Minimum |
|---|---|
| CPU | 4 Cores |
| RAM | 16GB |
| Storage | 120GB |
| Networking | 1 NIC attached to the provisioning network, and on which PXE Boot is enabled |
Each physical server must support IPMI 2.0.
While the minimum network requirement is a single NIC attached to a provisioning network, it is a best practice for this to be a dedicated network for PMB. So in reality, there may be a need for additional network interfaces on the system.
Recommendations for Integration With PMK or PMO
While the above configuration is sufficient for a minimal standalone bare metal automation solution, a bare metal cloud that is to be integrated with Kubernetes (via PMK) or your private cloud (via PMO) must have the following minimum configurations.
| Resource Type | Recommended |
|---|---|
| CPU | 2 Physical Sockets, 8 Cores Each |
| RAM | RECOMMENDED 32GB |
| Storage (GB) | RECOMMENDED 1TB |
