Prerequisites
Following are prerequisites for using DAI, including supported operating systems (OSs), hardware recommendations, default port usage, and compatible Eggplant Functional (EPF) versions. To achieve the best results in your environment, consider how and where you plan to run your tests. For example, where will you run your DAI Server and where will you run your Agents? Will you run multiple Run Agents at the same time? Then plan to set up your systems accordingly. If you have any questions about how to configure your systems, please contact our Customer Support.
Hardware Recommendations
The following are recommended hardware configurations for trial and production deployments.
Hardware | Configuration |
---|---|
Processor | 64-bit Intel 2.3 GHz or equivalent (4+ cores or 8+ threads recommended) |
Memory | 32 GB minimum |
Disk Space | 500 GB minimum for production deployments, 5 GB minimum for trial deployments |
If you want to run multiple agents on the same machine, you may need more memory and processing power. For example, a test environment that ran 5 agents simultaneously used a 64-bit Intel 2.3 GHz processor or equivalent (4+ cores or 8+ threads recommended) and 32 GB of memory.
Included in the memory recommendations shown above are 16 GB for Eggplant Functional (EPF). We recommend an additional 8 GB for each additional instance of the EPF desktop opened or an additional 2 GB for each background execution. For information about how EPF integrates with DAI, see Eggplant DAI Integration with Eggplant Functional. For information about the versions of EPF that work with DAI, see Compatible Eggplant Functional (EPF) Versions below.
