To run a Sui node efficiently, ensure your server meets the following minimum specifications:
Recommended Hardware Specifications for SUI Node:
For better performance and stability:
-
CPU: 16 cores (Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC, AMD Ryzen)
-
Memory: 64 GB RAM
-
Storage: 2 TB NVMe SSD (RAID recommended for redundancy), a separate drive for OS is recommended, but not necessary.
-
Network: 1 Gbps internet connection
SUI Validator node requirements:
For high-load and validator nodes:
-
CPU: 24-32 physical cores (or 48-64 virtual cores) (Intel Gold/Platinum and AMD EPYC )
-
Memory: 128 GB RAM
-
Storage: 4 TB NVMe SSD (RAID recommended for redundancy), a separate drive for OS is recommended, but not necessary.
-
Network: 1 Gbps plus internet connection ( 10Gbps is recommended ).
2. Server Configuration Requirements
Proper server configuration is essential for optimal node performance. Key settings include:
-
Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (preferred) or other Linux distributions
-
Docker & Dependencies: Ensure Docker is installed and up to date
-
Port & Firewall Settings: Open necessary ports and configure security settings
-
Storage Optimization: Use high-speed NVMe SSDs for faster blockchain data access
-
Monitoring & Maintenance: Utilize tools like Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring
-
Automatic Backups: Enable regular backups to prevent data loss
Ensuring your server meets these specifications and configurations will help maintain a stable, secure, and high-performance Sui node.
