To specify resource usage per container instance, create one or more resource profiles. When you deploy the
Usage Guidelines
logical device/application instance, you specify the resource profile that you want to use. The resource profile
sets the number of CPU cores; RAM and disk space are dynamically allocated according to the number of
cores.
• The minimum number of cores is 6.
• You cannot specify 8 cores due to internal architecture.
• You can assign cores as an even number (6, 10, 12, 14 etc.) up to the maximum.
• The maximum number of cores available depends on the security module/chassis model.
The chassis includes a default resource profile called "Default-Small," which includes the minimum number
of cores. You can change the definition of this profile, and even delete it if it is not in use. Note that this profile
is created when the chassis reloads and no other profile exists on the system.
If you change the settings for a resource profile, then any instances that use the resource profile will reload,
which can take approximately 5 minutes.
If you change the resource profile settings after you add the FTD instance to the FMC, update the inventory
for each unit on the Devices > Device Management > Device > System > Inventory dialog box.
Example
The following example adds three resource profiles.
firepower# scope ssa
firepower /ssa # enter resource-profile basic
firepower /ssa/resource-profile* # set description "lowest level"
firepower /ssa/resource-profile* # set cpu-core-count 6
firepower /ssa/resource-profile* # exit
firepower /ssa # enter resource-profile standard
firepower /ssa/resource-profile* # set description "middle level"
firepower /ssa/resource-profile* # set cpu-core-count 10
firepower /ssa/resource-profile* # exit
Sets the number of cores for the profile, between 6 and the maximum,
depending on your chassis, as an even number. You cannot specify 8 cores.
