The Tranzman appliance is designed for seamless migration between different backup domains.

===Introduction===
+
It is available as both an ISO image and an OVA template.
  
−
Tranzman appliance is used to perform the migration between different backup domains.
+
* The virtual appliance is recommended for **same-vendor transitions** where connectivity to tape media or large disk volumes (above 2TB) is not required.
 +
* The OVA template supports environments with **up to two million images** without modifications. For environments exceeding this limit, an additional **2GB of RAM per 500K images** is recommended.
 +
* A single Tranzman appliance can manage multiple environments, but proper sizing considerations should be applied.
  
−
The appliance is currently available as an ISO image and as an OVA template.
+
''Note: To determine the optimal appliance sizing, it is recommended to use [[Recorder|Tranzman Recorder]], which validates the environment and catalog sizing.''
  
−
Virtual appliance should only be used for same-vendor transitions where no connectivity to tape media or very large (above 2TB) disk volumes are required.
+
---
  
−
OVA template can be used for environments with up to two million images without any modifications, however we recommend a 2 GB of RAM per 500K additional images.
+
== RAM Requirements ==
  
−
A single Tranzman Appliance can be used to convert multiple environments, however we suggest to follow below considerations in sizing the appliance.

Introduction

The Tranzman appliance is designed for seamless migration between different backup domains.

It is available as both an ISO image and an OVA template.

  • The virtual appliance is recommended for **same-vendor transitions** where connectivity to tape media or large disk volumes (above 2TB) is not required.
  • The OVA template supports environments with **up to two million images** without modifications. For environments exceeding this limit, an additional **2GB of RAM per 500K images** is recommended.
  • A single Tranzman appliance can manage multiple environments, but proper sizing considerations should be applied.

Note: To determine the optimal appliance sizing, it is recommended to use Tranzman Recorder, which validates the environment and catalog sizing.

---

RAM Requirements

Use Case RAM Size (Minimum Recommended)
Using the appliance for assessments Minimum 4GB
Migrating Same Vendor Minimum 8GB
Migrating Cross Vendor Minimum 8GB
Note.png Additional **1GB of RAM** is required for every tape drive connected to the appliance.

---

CPU Requirements

Use Case CPU Core (Minimum Recommended)
Migrating Same Vendor Minimum 4-core Intel CPU
Migrating Cross Vendor Minimum 8-core Intel CPU
Note.png Additional **1 core** required per tape drive connected to the appliance. Only **Intel processors** are tested and supported.

---

Network Requirements

Use Case Network Speed (Minimum Recommended)
Migrating Same Vendor & Recovery on Demand 1Gbps connection
Migrating Cross Vendor 10Gbps connection
Note.png If multiple links are used, **aggregation** is required for maximum throughput. Additional connections may be needed for multiple tape drives.

---

Ports Requirement

The appliance requires network communication. If an internal firewall is present, the following connections must be allowed to ensure proper functionality.

Backup Servers (Clients of Tranzman)

All Servers

INBOUND TCP 443 from ANY
OUTBOUND TCP 55560 to Tranzman Appliance

Destination Servers

OUTBOUND (Windows) UDP 137, 138 to Tranzman Appliance
OUTBOUND (Unix/Linux) UDP 111, 4045, 2049 to Tranzman Appliance

Tranzman Appliance (Server)

INBOUND TCP 443, 22, 80 from ANY
INBOUND TCP 55560 from all origin and destination backup servers

Administration PC/Laptop

OUTBOUND TCP 443 to Tranzman Appliance
OUTBOUND TCP 80 to Tranzman Appliance
OUTBOUND TCP 22 to Tranzman Appliance
OUTBOUND UDP 137, 138 to Tranzman Appliance

---

Storage Requirement

  • Minimum **3GB** local disk for OS installation.
  • Local/SAN attached disks are needed for temporary staging of converted images based on recovery volume requirements.

To correctly size the volumes, it is recommended to use Tranzman Recorder and Stone Ram Consulting Services.

Use Case Requirement (Guideline Only)
For Assessment Additional **20GB** disk
Same Vendor Migration Additional disk(s) of **Minimum ((2.5 * Catalog Size) + (2 * Total Memory))**
Cross Vendor Migration Additional disk(s) of **Minimum ((2.5 * Catalog Size) + (2 * Total Memory) + Largest of either:**
  • 3 x largest image size
  • Number of drives * max size of compressed tape
