Compute nodes
Compute node sizes vary according to your resource needs. The following questions are provided
to guide you as you determine the size of your compute node.
• What flavor settings will the provisioned instances use?
• What oversubscription rate is supported for each compute resource? See the Compute Node
Management chapter in the HP CloudSystem 8.0 Administrator Guide at Enterprise Information
Library.
• How many instances will each compute node support?
After answering the questions above, determine the amount of CPU cores, memory, and storage
to allocate to each compute node. You can also use the HP Sizer for Server Virtualization website
to determine hypervisor sizing for compute nodes.
