repos

--enable=rhel-7-server-rh-common-rpms

Ensure the httpd service is enabled - use by executing the command: systemctl enable httpd.service

Ensure the httpd service is started - use by executing the command: systemctl start httpd.service 

• This RPM is not always accessible from existing repositories. Try first to install it by running executing the command: yum install mod_proxy_html.

Prepare disk, mount points / file systems and logical volume

For Production and Non Production installations, the Standard Edition requires 3 disks (LUNs / physical / virtual) to support throughput.

You will need to allocate the following mount points / file systems on the different disks as described in table 1 below

It is strongly recommended to use logical volume manager (LVM) especially - particularly for data diskdisks

The minimum file system sizes for the different installation types are described in table 2 below
