Hardware Requirements
Number of CPU cores
Each CHARON-AXP emulated CPU requires a corresponding physical core. So the total number of the host CPUs must exceed the number of emulated CPUs since some of the host CPUs must be dedicated to serving CHARON I/O operations and host operating system needs. If several CHARON instances run in parallel, the required number of CPU cores is cumulative.
...
The following table lists the minimum and recommended number of CPUs required for each virtual HP Alpha instance (note that each CHARON instance is able to run on 2 CPU cores hosts, but this configuration does not support emulation of all the virtual CPUs):
...
It is also possible to use virtual network interfaces, but for performance considerations, it is recommended to use physical ones only.

For VMware-based CHARON hosts it is mandatary to use the "E1000" virtual network adapter. Please avoid usage of the "E1000E" adapter since it may lead to problems with some TCP/IP services! |
| Info |
|---|
Starting with ESXi 6.5, it is not possible to select E1000 adapter when a new virtual machine is created using Windows Server 2012, 2016 and Windows 10 templates. The following workarounds are available:
