Supported operating system | Verify that the operating system is supported by DPOD as described in Hardware and Software Requirements. After the server OS is installed, this can be verified using the following command:
| ||||||
Resources allocation | Allocate resources according to the chosen architecture type deployment profile as listed in Hardware and Software Requirements. After the server OS is installed, this can be verified using the following commands:
| ||||||
Network requirements | Ensure you have at least one network interface installed and configured with full access to network services, such as DNS and NTP. | ||||||
Root access | The installation must be performed by a root user. You cannot use sudo instead. | ||||||
Disks, mount points, file systems and logical volumes | DPOD requires at least 3 disks (LUNs / physical / virtual) for the operating system, for the application and for the data. Some configurations, such as the Cell environment, require additional disks.
Tip: to create the mount points / file systems during RHEL installation:
| ||||||
Store service dedicated OS user and group | The Store service requires a dedicated OS user and group to run. Consider executing the following command:
| ||||||
OS locale | The supported OS locale is en_US.UTF-8. Check the OS Locale Configuration and change it if necessary. | ||||||
