vRealize Operations Manager Platform Requirements for Linux
vRealize Operations Manager requires the following hardware and software when you install on Linux.
CPU and Memory Requirements
vRealize Operations Manager is supported for installation with the following CPU and memory.
Table 1‑5. vRealize Operations Manager Linux Virtual CPU and Memory Requirements
Node Size Virtual CPU and Memory
Small 4 vCPU
16 GB vRAM
Medium 8 vCPU
32 GB vRAM
Large 16 vCPU
48 GB vRAM
Standard Remote Collector 2 vCPU
4 GB vRAM
Large Remote Collector 4 vCPU
16 GB vRAM
Disk Requirements
Disk space for vRealize Operations Manager is not driven solely by how much space the application needs
in order to successfully install. In addition, you must consider data collection and retention requirements,
which might vary from site to site.
See “Sizing the vRealize Operations Manager Cluster,” on page 15.
The default disk requirement for a new, single-node cluster is 250 GB. Thereafter, one approach to prevent
disk capacity shortages is by using vRealize Operations Manager for self monitoring and by adding disk or
data nodes as needed.
Software Version Requirements
vRealize Operations Manager is supported for installation on the following Linux versions.
n
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6, starting with version 6.5.
Required Linux Packages for vRealize Operations Manager
vRealize Operations Manager requires that certain Linux packages be installed before running the product
installer. Also, vRealize Operations Manager installs additional packages.
Prerequisite Linux Packages
The following packages must be present before running the vRealize Operations Manager installer.
Furthermore, if a package is a Linux default, it must not be removed after installation.
n
bash
n
chkcong
n
coreutils
