Software and Hardware Requirements
Learn the software and hardware requirements for deploying and running TiKV.
how-to

Software and Hardware Requirements

As an open source distributed Key-Value database with high performance, TiKV can be deployed in the Intel architecture server and major virtualization environments and runs well. TiKV supports most of the major hardware networks and Linux operating systems.

TiKV must work together with Placement Driver (PD). PD is the cluster manager of TiKV, which periodically checks replication constraints to balance load and data automatically.

Linux OS version requirements

Linux OS Platform Version
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later
CentOS 7.3 or later
Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later
Ubuntu LTS 16.04 or later

Note:

  • For Oracle Enterprise Linux, TiKV supports the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) and does not support the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel provided by Oracle Enterprise Linux.
  • A large number of TiKV tests have been run on the CentOS 7.3 system, and in our community there are a lot of best practices in which TiKV is deployed on the Linux operating system. Therefore, it is recommended to deploy TiKV on CentOS 7.3 or later.
  • The support for the Linux operating systems above includes the deployment and operation in physical servers as well as in major virtualized environments like VMware, KVM and XEN.

Server requirements

You can deploy and run TiKV on the 64-bit generic hardware server platform in the Intel x86-64 architecture. The requirements and recommendations about server hardware configuration for development, test and production environments are as follows:

Development and test environments

Component CPU Memory Local Storage Network Instance Number (Minimum Requirement)
PD 4 core+ 8 GB+ SAS, 200 GB+ Gigabit network card 1
TiKV 8 core+ 32 GB+ SAS, 200 GB+ Gigabit network card 3
Total Server Number 4

Note:

  • Do not deploy PD and TiKV on the same server.
  • For performance-related test, do not use low-performance storage and network hardware configuration, in order to guarantee the correctness of the test result.

Production environment

Component CPU Memory Hard Disk Type Network Instance Number (Minimum Requirement)
PD 4 core+ 8 GB+ SSD 10 Gigabit network card (2 preferred) 3
TiKV 16 core+ 32 GB+ SSD 10 Gigabit network card (2 preferred) 3
Monitor 8 core+ 16 GB+ SAS Gigabit network card 1
Total Server Number 7

Note:

  • It is strongly recommended to use higher configuration in the production environment.
  • It is recommended to keep the size of TiKV hard disk within 2 TB if you are using PCI-E SSD disks or within 1.5 TB if you are using regular SSD disks.

Network requirements

TiKV requires the following network port configuration to run. Based on the TiKV deployment in actual environments, the administrator can open relevant ports in the network side and host side.

Component Default Port Description
TiKV 20160 the TiKV communication port
PD 2380 the inter-node communication port within the PD cluster
Pump 8250 the Pump communication port
Drainer 8249 the Drainer communication port
Prometheus 9090 the communication port for the Prometheus service
Pushgateway 9091 the aggregation and report port for TiKV, and PD monitor
Node_exporter 9100 the communication port to report the system information of each TiKV cluster node
Blackbox_exporter 9115 the Blackbox_exporter communication port, used to monitor the ports in the TiKV cluster
Grafana 3000 the port for the external Web monitoring service and client (Browser) access
Grafana 8686 the grafana_collector communication port, used to export the Dashboard as the PDF format
Kafka_exporter 9308 the Kafka_exporter communication port, used to monitor the binlog Kafka cluster

Web browser requirements

Based on the Prometheus and Grafana platform, TiKV provides a visual data monitoring solution to monitor the TiKV cluster status. To access the Grafana monitor interface, it is recommended to use a higher version of Microsoft IE, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
