Refer to the following topics for important information about NIC driver updates for your hypervisor host and NIC settings for the QoreStor virtual machine.
Before deploying the QoreStor virtual machine, you may need to update certain hypervisor host NIC drivers to support the VMQ feature. Check your Hypervisor host NIC feature list and update the driver to the latest version as needed. For example, you should update the Broadcom NetXtreme I and NetXtreme II Ethernet adapter driver to 17.6.0 (or later) to add VMQ support; otherwise, you might experience performance degradation during normal operations. Refer to the following links for downloading:
QoreStor is available in several lightweight demonstration images that provide a simple way to evaluate QoreStor without consuming the resources needed for production-ready deployments. QoreStor demo images are available for:
- Oracle VirtualBox
- VMWare Workstation
- Microsoft Hyper-V
- VMware ESXi
For information regarding the demo image requirements, refer to QoreStor VM SpecificationsFor up-to-date information regarding supported versions of the above platforms, refer to the QoreStor Interoperability Guide.
