Installation Prerequisites

Minimum Requirements:

  • CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 18 Virtual Machine. 
    • Use a dedicated virtual machine with no other production applications running on it. Install and update the base OS packages to the latest versions.
    • Ensure Internet connectivity to automatically install and configure software dependencies.
  • vCPU/Core: 4
    • Example: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8175M CPU @ 2.50 GHz
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • NIC interface: 1
  • Disks mounted to the Virtual Machine: 2*
    • Host OS: 100 GB minimum
    • Spacevars
      0product
      /Docker storage: 
      • Recommended 1 TB. Minimum 500 GB.
      • Disk space monitoring and alerting configured at safe threshold (for example, 80% used capacity)
      • Ability to expand disk space when it reaches threshold.
  • Docker version 19.03.11
  • Docker Compose version 1.26.2

*Configure and mount an additional disk/file system at /var/lib/docker/ prior to any installation activities. This provides greater flexibility and reliability on production systems. A sample configuration guide is provided under Configuring Storage for EdgeView and Docker section.

If you choose to install the

product on a bare metal server, 
Spacevars

recommends managing the storage provided to the OS through a logical volume manager to enable redundancy and facilitate expanding storage capacity over time.

However, due to the operational complexity, 

Spacevars

does not recommended this option for most environments. Additionally, configuring such an environment is considered outside the scope of this document. Contact your
