Supported Hypervisors for the DMF Controller

The DMF controller node supports a Virtual Machine (VM) or an appliance on the following hypervisors and software versions:

 
Supported Hypervisors Version
Linux KVM Ubuntu 16.04

Ubuntu 18.04

Ubuntu 20.04

Ubuntu 22.04

Ubuntu 24.04

Ubuntu 25.04
VMware ESXi

Version 7.0.0

Version 8.0.0
Note: Arista Networks does not support any other hypervisors or versions for this release.

Hardware Requirements for DMF Controller VM Deployment

VM performance depends on many other factors, so the recommendation is to select the DMF Controller Node hardware appliance for production deployments.

The following is the minimum hardware required for installing the VM software image on a supported KVM or ESXi version:
  • Eight vCPUs with a minimum scheduling of 2 GHz.
  • 32 GB of virtual memory.
  • 400 GB hard disk.
  • One virtual network interface reachable from the physical switches.
Note: Arista Networks does not support any other hypervisors or versions for this release.
1Support 4X10G and 4X25G and 2X50G breakout.
2Support 4X10G and 4X25G breakout. 2X50G breakout will be supported in the future.
