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

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

CPU Requirements

Minimum CPU Requirements by Use Case
Use Case CPU Core (Minimum Recommended)
Migrating Same Vendor Minimum 4-core Intel CPU
Migrating Cross Vendor Minimum 8-core Intel CPU
🛈 Note: Additional 1 core is required per tape drive. Only Intel processors are tested and supported.

Network Requirements

Minimum Network Requirements
Use Case Network Speed (Minimum Recommended)
Migrating Same Vendor & Recovery on Demand 1Gbps connection
Migrating Cross Vendor 10Gbps connection
🛈 Note: If multiple links are used, aggregation is required. 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:

Backup Servers (Clients of Tranzman)

All Servers

Direction Protocol & Port
INBOUND TCP 443 from ANY
OUTBOUND TCP 55560 to Tranzman Appliance

Destination Servers

OS Protocol & Port
Windows UDP 137, 138
Unix/Linux UDP 111, 4045, 2049

Tranzman Appliance (Server)

Direction Protocol & Port
INBOUND TCP 443, 22, 80 from ANY
INBOUND TCP 55560 from all origin and destination backup servers
INBOUND TCP/UDP 139, 445, 137, 138 from destination Windows servers
INBOUND TCP/UDP 111, 4045, 2049 from destination *nix servers
INBOUND TCP/UDP 139, 445, 137, 138 from Admin PCs
INBOUND UDP 123 to NTP servers
OUTBOUND TCP/UDP 53 to DNS servers
OUTBOUND UDP 123 to NTP servers
OUTBOUND TCP 25, 587 to Email server

Administration PC/Laptop

Direction Protocol & Port
OUTBOUND TCP 443, 80, 22 to Tranzman Appliance
OUTBOUND TCP/UDP 139, 445, 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.
