Site Recovery Manager System Requirements

The system on which you install vCenter Site Recovery Manager must meet specific hardware requirements.

Table 1. Site Recovery Manager System Requirements

Component	Requirement
Processor	2.0GHz or higher Intel or AMD x86 processor
Memory	2GB minimum. You might require more memory if you use the embedded database, as the content of the database grows.
Disk Storage	5GB minimum. If you install Site Recovery Manager on a different drive to the C: drive, the Site Recovery Manager installer still requires at least 1GB of free space on the C: drive. This space is required for extracting and caching the installation package. You might require more disk storage if you use the embedded database, as the content of the database grows.
Networking	1 Gigabit recommended for communication between Site Recovery Manager sites. Use a trusted network for the management of ESXi hosts.
