Storage

Flexera recommends that Software Vulnerability Manager On-Premises Edition system is installed on storage that is failure tolerant in the first or second level. If you do not use a failure tolerant hardware RAID, it is recommended that you define a software RAID-1 during installation. Please ensure that your RAID hardware is compatible with your Red Hat version.

Flexera recommends the following partitioning best practice:

•

The root partition “/” should be at least 100GB.

•

The boot partition “/boot” should be at least 100MB.

•

The swap partition is based on the amount of RAM that currently is available.

Alternatively, you can use the layout that Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation suggests.

Important:Configure the correct host name and network interfaces during installation.

•

Select Customize software packages to be installed and remove this selection from all application groups. Failure to do so will install additional unrequired software.

•

Ensure that you have adequate disk space for the MYSQL/mariaDB databases (by default stored in /var/lib/mysql).
