For amd opteron-based systems, the CPU must be opteron rev E or later. For inter Xeon-based systems, the CPU must include support for Intel's vt. Although many CPU servers support VT, VT is disabled by default. Therefore, VT must be manually enabled. At least 2 GB of memory is required, at least one gigabit or 10 GB Ethernet controller; at least one controller; basic SCSI controllers include adaptec ultra-160 or ultra-320, LSI login fusion-MPT, or most NCR/symbios SCSI, RAID Controller, Dell Perc (adaptec raid or LSI megaraid), HP Smart Array raid or IBM (adaptec) serveraid controller.
