N1Kv and memory requirements

Hi,

From the Q&A Nexus 1000V below an excerpt of the requirements on ESXi. What I wonder, when I have 50 VEMS (or 50 physical hosts) do I need 2G memory (VSM) and 50*150M or 7.5G for the VEMs, so total 9.5G? Or does the 150M sit as process in the physical hosts?

Thanks

Paul

A. System requirements are as follows:  

• Works with all switching architectures

• Cisco Nexus 1000V VSM

Hi Paul,


You would be needing only 2GB for VSM, and 150 MB for VEM mentioned will be on each physical hosts.
