Scope
Forza takes advantage of more modern CPU features; as such, not all CPUs are capable of running Forza. This document will tell you how to check and see if your CPU has the proper features.
Also of note, this document does not speak to the capacity of any CPU or system to support multiple Forza processors. It only covers the minimum base features that your CPU must have.
Terminal access will be required for the following steps.
Checking your system's CPU flags
Connect to the system where you plan to deploy Forza. You can use local KVM terminal access to perform these checks. Alternately (as in this example) you may do so using ssh with a terminal program like PuTTy.
From the prompt, run the command:
~$ lscpu | grep -o 'avx2'If the feature is present, you should see the ‘avx2’ string echoed back:
If the feature is not present, you should see nothing echoed back:
If your system does not have the avx2 flag, it is NOT capable of hosting a Forza container.
