Overview
This document will guide you through the steps for upgrading your existing SMACS ZPC machine in VMWare to meet our new hardware requirements.

The steps outlined below are for VMware only, Stack8 ZIRO currently only provides support for VMware. If you are using another VM platform (such as Hyper-V, Hypervisor or Azure VM), please review this guide with your internal VM subject-matter expert before upgrading to SMACS 7.0) |
SMACS Requirements
Before upgrading your SMACS ZPC machine to version 7, you will may need to upgrade your VM requirements. The below table displays the requirements for SMACS versions ≤ 6.12.2 and versions ≥ 72 and versions ≥ 7.0 to 7.4.2 as well as ZPC version ≥ 8.0 :
| SMACS 6.12.2 and lower | SMACS 7.0 to 7.4.2 | ZPC 8.0 and higher |
Memory (RAM) | 8 GB | 8 GB | 8 GB |
Disk Space | 50 GB | 120 GB | 120 GB to 500 GB |
CPU | 1 vCPU | 2 vCPUs | 2 vCPUs |
For ZPC version 8 and larger, assign at least 120 GB. If you use our Reporting module and are planning to import CDR data from CUCM, add 3GB for each 1M call records on top of the minimum disk space required (120GB) up to 500GB.
To ease the upgrade process, Stack8-OS will handle repartitioning the HDD and adding the new core automatically once they are allocated from your VM host.
