Multiple vNode resource usage questions

[crouton]

Hey guys, just have some questions about how much resources vNodes use:

• From my understanding, are vNodes always using the same amount of CPU/RAM regardless of whether they are earning or not?
• Is it possible to run an additional vNode if I am slightly below the CPU requirement but have enough SSD storage and RAM (I currently have 6 cores, 32 GB RAM, and around 1000GB SSD)?

Many thanks guys!

Hi @crouton, they do not always use the same amount of CPU/ RAM. The usage is different when a Node is in the candidate pool/ preparation pool/ committee validator.

The requirement for 1 Node is 4 cores CPU. But you can give it a try.

Thanks Peter, I will give it a go!
