Hardware, Software, and Virtual Machine Requirements for Contrail Service Orchestration
Minimum Hardware Requirements for Contrail Service Orchestration
Table 3 lists the makes and models of node servers and servers that you can use in CSO. When you obtain node servers and servers for CSO, we recommend that you:
Select hardware that was manufactured within the last year.
Ensure that you have active support contracts for servers so that you can upgrade to the latest firmware and BIOS versions.
The number of node servers and servers that you require depends on whether you are installing a trial or a production environment.
Table 9 shows the required hardware specifications for node servers and servers in a trial environment.

Table 15 shows the ports that must be open on all VMs in CSO to enable the following types of CSO communications:
External—CSO user interface (UI) and CPE connectivity
Internal—Connectivity between CSO components
The provisioning tool opens these ports on each VM; however, if you provision the VMs manually, you must manually open the ports on each VM.
