Overview

Tranzman appliance is used to perform the migration between different backup domains.

The appliance is currently available as an ISO image and as an OVA template.

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.

A single Tranzman Appliance can be used to convert multiple environments, however we suggest to follow below considerations in sizing the appliance.

Note: To help understand the correct sizing for a Tranzman Appliance Deployment, it is recommended to use Tranzman Recorder which validates the environment and the catalog sizing.

RAM Requirement

Use Case RAM size

(minimum recommended)

Using appliance only for assessments Minimum 4GB
Migrating Same Vendor Minimum 8GB
Migrating Cross Vendor Minimum 8GB
Note.png Note: Additional 1GB of RAM is required for every tape drive connected to the Appliance


CPU Requirement

Use Case CPU Core

(minimum recommended)

Migrating Same Vendor Minimum 4 core Intel CPU
Migrating Cross Vendor Minimum 8 core Intel CPU
Note.png Note: Additional 1 core for every tape drive connected to the Appliance. ONLY INTEL processors have been tested and are supported.


Network Requirement

Use Case Network speed

(minimum recommended)

Migrating Same Vendor and recovery on Demand 1Gbit connection
Migrating Cross Vendor 10Gbit connection
Note.png Note: If multiple links are used, aggregation is needed to provide maximum throughput. Multiple connections may be required if there are multiple tape drives.


Ports Requirement

The appliance needs to communicate over the network. In case of internal firewalls, it must allow the following connections to ensure smooth functioning of the appliance.

Backup Servers (Clients of Tranzman)

All servers

INBOUND TCP 443 from ANY
OUTBOUND to Tranzman Appliance TCP 55560

Destination servers

OUTBOUND for Windows to the Tranzman Appliance TCP 139 and 445 and UDP 137 and 138
OUTBOUND for Unix/Linux to the Tranzman Appliance TCP 111,4045 and 2049 and UDP 111,4045 and 2049

Tranzman Appliance (Server)

INBOUND TCP 443 from ANY
INBOUND TCP 22 from ANY
INBOUND TCP 80 from ANY
INBOUND TCP 55560 from all origin and destination backup servers
INBOUND TCP 139 and 445 and UDP 137 and 138 from destination Windows servers
INBOUND TCP 111,4045 and 2049 and UDP 111,4045 and 2049 from destination *nix servers
INBOUND TCP 139 and 445 and UDP 137 and 138 from Administration PC(s) Windows Only
INBOUND UDP 123 to the NTP servers.
OUTBOUND TCP 53 and UDP 53 to the DNS servers
OUTBOUND UDP 123 to the NTP servers
OUTBOUND TCP 25, 587 to the Email server

Administration PC/Laptop

OUTBOUND to Tranzman Appliance TCP 443
OUTBOUND to Tranzman Appliance TCP 80
OUTBOUND to Tranzman Appliance TCP 22
OUTBOUND to the Tranzman Appliance TCP 139 and 445 and UDP 137 and 138


Storage Requirement

  • Minimum 3GB local disk for OS Installation.
  • Local/SAN attached disks needed for temporary staging of converted images as per the required size of volumes of recoveries.

The following is for guidance purpose only and it is advised to use the Tranzman Recorder and Stone Ram Consulting Services to correctly size the volumes.

Use Case Requirement (guideline only)
For Assessment Additional disk of Minimum 20GB
Same Vendor migration Additional disk(s) of Minimum ((2.5 * Size of combined catalog) + (2 * Total Memory))
Cross Vendor migration Additional disk(s) of Minimum ((2.5 * Size of combined catalog) + (2 * Total Memory) + Largest of either

3 x largest image size Number of Drives * max size of compressed tape
