Alpaca Server System Requirements

The minimum system requirements to run the Alpaca Server are as follows:

  • Storage: 100 GB
  • CPU: 2
  • RAM: 4 GB + 2x PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE

Determining PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE

You can determine the current PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE on a Broadworks Application server using the ttIsql command:

  1. bwadmin@as1.voip.net$ ttIsql
  2. Command> dssize

  3. Output

     The following values are in KB:

 PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE:      1048576
 PERM_IN_USE_SIZE:         71861
 PERM_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER:   71944
 TEMP_ALLOCATED_SIZE:      348160
 TEMP_IN_USE_SIZE:         28888
 TEMP_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER:   32368

  4. Command> exit

In this example, our PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE is 1048576 kB (1.05 GB), so this system requires 6 GB (4 + 2(1)) of RAM.

BroadWork's Host IDs

A perpetual ECG License requires the Host Ids of all of the BroadWorks Application Servers that Alpaca will be communicating with.

There are two ways to retrieve the Host IDs: From the XSP_CLI and directly off of the Application Server.

XSP_CLI

All host ids used by an XSP are located at: XSP_CLI/System/Licensing.

  1. bwadmin@as1.voip.net$ bwadmin
  2. XSP_CLI> cd System/Licensing
  3. XSP_CLI/System/Licensing> get

  4. Output

    customerName         = Engineers Consulting Group
licenseType          = HARD
expirationDate       = 09/16/2017
     Host Id
============
AAAAAAAA-BBBB-1111-CCCC-123456ABCDEFG

AS

Specific AS host ids can be seen from the AS via /usr/local/broadworks/bw_base/sbin/bwdd | grep UUID or dmidecode | grep UUID.
