System requirements
Table: System requirements for Veritas Access lists the per-node system requirements for running the Veritas Access system software.
Table: System requirements for Veritas Access
Minimum | Recommended |
---|---|
Each Veritas Access node using a 64-bit Intel-based server architecture that is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 Update 3 and 4, Oracle Linux (OL) 7 Update 4, or AMD64, and Intel EMT. Itanium is not supported. | Two nodes of dual or quad core processors at 2.0 GHz or later for optimal performance. |
32 GB error-correcting code (ECC) random-access memory (RAM) | The recommended values depend on the expected workload. |
One internal drive with size equal to size of RAM + 60 GB | Dual boot drives each of size RAM + 60 GB or more capacity. In an FSS-based environment, additional internal drives (SSD + HDD) are recommended. |
Four 1G Ethernet interfaces (Two ethernet interface are used for public and two for private network.) | Four 10G ethernet interfaces are recommended (Two ethernet interface are used for public and two for private network.). |
One Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBA) | Two Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are recommended for high availability (HA) if you are using shared LUNs that need to be mapped over a Fibre Channel protocol. If the environment has only DAS or iSCSI disks, then the HBA requirement is optional. |
Internal/external USB DVD-ROM DVD drive | N/A |
Redundant power supply | Recommended, but not required. |
SmartIO caching feature | A PCI-based SSD card is recommended if you want to use the SmartIO caching feature. |
Minimum number of servers required is 1 | N/A |
Table: Operating system partition requirements for Veritas Access lists the operating system (OS) partition requirements for running the Veritas Access system software.
Table: Operating system partition requirements for Veritas Access
Partition | Recommended size (Minimum) | Details |
---|---|---|
/opt | 100 GB | Used to store Veritas Access software, logs, and core dumps. |
/usr | 3 GB | Used to install the dependent OS rpms. |
swap | 8 GB | Used to swap space when physical memory is full. |
/ | 30 GB | Used for the operating system. |
Note:
The operating system partition requirements are only for Veritas Access, additional space is required for OS-specific packages, which needs to be allocated as required.
