NOTES: - It is recommended to have a duplicate test system that mirrors the production system. This is not a requirement but not having a duplicated system may lead to issues in production that are not encountered in the test environment.
- Leave at least 25 percent free space for each hard drive or volume on each server.
- For SQL Server, leave 50 percent free space for each hard drive.
- SQL Server should not be installed on the Remote Desktop Services/Citrix servers.
- Key2Act WennSoft has customers who are successfully operating their production Microsoft Dynamics GP/Signature systems in a virtual environment.
- When you deploy a system in a virtual environment, make sure that you have sufficient hard disk space to avoid performance problems.
- Each computer that you deploy in a virtual environment should meet or exceed the random access memory (RAM) requirements and the hard disk space requirements. Use the requirements for systems that are deployed in a non-virtual environment.
- In addition to Microsoft, other software vendors have software in the market that provides virtual environment functionality. Key2Act WennSoft does not test or support Signature software running together with non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software.
- You may need to enable port 1433 for TCP/IP in the Windows Firewall to ensure that the incoming ODBC requests are accepted.
