Storage Manager System Requirements
To run StorNext File System and Storage Manager, the metadata
controller must meet all operating system, hardware, and LAN
requirements.
Operating System
Requirements 1
The operating systems, kernel versions, and hardware platforms
supported by StorNext SNFS and SNSM are presented in
Table 1. Make
sure the MDC uses a supported operating system and platform, and if
necessary update to a supported kernel version before installing
StorNext.
Table 1 Storage Manager
Supported Platforms
Hardware Requirements1
The minimum amount of RAM and available hard disk space required to
run StorNext SNFS and SNSM are presented in
Table 2. Because support
files (such as database and journal files) are stored on the MDC, the
amount of local disk space that is required increases with the number of
data files stored on StorNext file systems.
If necessary, upgrade the RAM and local disk storage in the MDC to meet
the minimum requirements before installing StorNext.
