Obtaining the vSZ Distribution
Preparing the vSZ Interface Settings to Use
Determining the System Resources That Virtual Machine Requires

Obtaining the vSZ Distribution
You have to download the .OVA file and documentation for the controller from the vSZ download
page on the Ruckus Wireless support website. The vSZ distribution package, which is based
on the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) framework, consists of a virtual appliance.

Preparing the vSZ Interface Settings to Use
vSZ comes with the option to operate with either one (1) network interface or three (3) network
interfaces. Once the network interface configuration has been made and setup executed, the
number of network interfaces can no longer be modified.
CAUTION: If you choose to operate the vSZ with three network interfaces, you must configure

the three vSZ interfaces to be on three different subnets when you run the Setup Wizard. Failure
to do so may result in loss of access to the web interface or failure of system functions and
services.

Preparing to Install the vSZ
Determining the System Resources That Virtual Machine Requires

Determining the System Resources That Virtual Machine
Requires
The number of APs and clients that vSZ can support depends on the system resources (CPU
and memory) that the virtual machine running vSZ has.
vSZ is capable of automatically scaling to and supporting a higher number of APs and clients if
it determines, at system bootup, that there is sufficient CPU and memory on the virtual machine
to support more APs and clients. Table 6: High Scale profile configuration: Recommended
system resources on page 14 and Table 7: Essentials profile configuration: Recommended
system resources on page 15 list the maximum recommended number of APs and clients that
the vSZ can support based on the available vCPU and memory available on the virtual machine.
The first row in Table 6: High Scale profile configuration: Recommended system resources on
page 14, for example, shows that to support up to 100 APs, the vSZ must have at least 2-core
CPU and 13GB of RAM. Whenever the CPU or memory settings are changed, the virtual controller
instance must be rebooted for the updated settings to be applied to it.
CAUTION: When either the AP count or the wireless client count reaches the maximum limit

specified in the tables, you must allocate additional system resources to the VM. For example,
if a VM is allocated with Level 1 resources to handle 100 APs and the AP count increases to
101, you must update the VM to Level 2 resources to prevent performance-related issues.
All resource levels in the following tables are provided based on Intel Xeon CPU E5- 2630v2
@2.60 GHz. If the server on which you are hosting the controller software is using a different
CPU generation and/or model, it may perform differently. In this case, CPU adjustments can be
made to generate the same level of performance.
CAUTION: The minimum memory and CPU requirements have changed in this release. You

may need to upgrade your infrastructure before upgrading. Please read carefully. This is the
minimum requirement recommended.

Clustering Limitations for vSZ-H
• vSZ-H supports up to 10,000 APs per node or 30,000 APs per cluster, assuming proper
system resources are made available. It supports clustering of up to 4 nodes when using
Resource Level 7.
• At 4 nodes, the maximum number of APs and clients that can be supported are 30,000 and
300,000 respectively.
Clustering Limitations for vSZ-E
• vSZ-E supports up to 1024 APs per node or 3000 APs per cluster, assuming proper system
resources are available. It supports clustering of up to 4 nodes when using Resource Level
2.
• Above 2 nodes in a cluster at Resource Level 2, additional 2 CPU cores need to be added
to each node to support the added search capabilities and replication.
• At 4 nodes, the maximum number of APs and clients that can be supported are 3,000 and
60,000 respectively.
• NAT operation for vSZ cluster – Currently, each node requires its own public IP address for
its NAT'ed interface. As such, a 1:1 NAT is recommended for setting up a cluster behind a
NAT environment.

7. Resize the vSZ disk image, if necessary. By default, the vSZ disk size is 50GB. If you want
to allocate more disk space to the vSZ, run the qemu-img command. The complete syntax
is as follows: qemu-img resize {file name of the controller QCOW bin}
+size

Setting Up the vSZ
You can set up the vSZ using the Red Hat Virtual Machine Manager (also known as
“virt-manager”). If you are installing the vSZ on a different hypervisor or virtual machine monitor,
the procedure may be slightly different. Refer to the hypervisor documentation for more
information.

12. After you complete installing the vSZ on the virtual machine, decide how many interfaces you
want the vSZ to use. The vSZ supports either a single interface or three interfaces. By default,
a single interface exists after installation.
• If you want the vSZ to use a single interface, you do not need to take action in this step.
Continue to the next step.
• If you want the vSZ to use three interfaces, you must create the two additional interfaces
before the initial bootup of the vSZ. Once the vSZ has completed its initial bootup, you
will no longer be able to change the number of interfaces.
If you want to add interfaces, you must do so before the initial bootup of the vSZ. After the
initial bootup, you will no longer be able to change the number of interfaces.
