Hardware Compatibility
Caution:
Important
Before installing or upgrading, verify that your site hardware meets Centricity
PACS compatibility requirements. If your site's hardware is not listed in this
section, escalate to your director of Service as soon as possible.
Important
Centricity PACS 4.0 SP10 supports the Archive Interface Module (AIM). The AIM
software runs either on the Enterprise Archive (EA) server or, if the site does
not have EA, on a standalone AIM server. If a pre-4.0 SP10 site uses either EA or
the GE Application Service Provider (GE ASP) archiving service, the site will
need to acquire a standalone server to run AIM. The AIM software must be
configured on the EA server or a standalone EA server before the PACS
upgrade is completed.
PowerPath Users
Upgrading to Red Hat 5.8 will break the configuration of your PowerPath
drivers. To restore the multipathing connection, you will need to reinstall the
PowerPath drivers. Make sure you are prepared to do this after the Red Hat 5.8
upgrade is complete.

Memory Requirements
Virtual memory needs a 1-to-1 relationship to physical memory. For example, if you install
a database server and two nodes, the physical servers would require 24 GB (3 servers x 8
GB RAM). Therefore, the virtual memory of those VMs is also 24 GB, and physical
memory of the VM farm is 24 GB.
Note:
You can add additional VMs to your VM farm; however, performance degradation may
occur if you overextend physical RAM.
Note:
1-8-2:
CPU Requirements
Virtual CPUs do not always need a 1-to-1 relationship with the physical CPUs as is the
case with RAM. Depending on CPU performance (CPU speed), additional virtual CPUs
may be required to perform the same processes as CPUs with higher CPU speed.
Note:
1-8-3:
Red Hat Linux 5.8 is required if the server uses the AMD Opteron 6000-series chip set
in a VMware virtual environment.
Network Requirements
Virtual NICs replace physical NICs. In a non-VM environment, 2 physical NICs are
required. In a VM environment, 1 virtual NIC replaces both physical NICs.
