Required Version
Important
All SCS versions up to 1.6 support RHEL/CentOS 7 only. RHEL/Rocky Linux 8 requires SCS 1.7 or above.
SCS 1.7.x supports installation on both RHEL/CentOS 7 and RHEL/Rocky Linux 8.
SCS requires RHEL/CentOS 7 or RHEL/Rocky Linux 8 installed. RHEL/CentOS7 support is deprecated, and will no longer be supported past SCS 1.7.x.
System locale set to
LANG=en_US.UTF8
SCS may be installed in either a VM or bare-metal environment. See Hardware Selection for hardware requirements.
Caution
When running SCS within a virtual machine, care must be taken to restore proper network connectivity after restoring from a snapshot. After restoring from a snapshot, the following command should be run within the SCS VM to ensure SCS components have proper access to the network:
podman network reload --all
Verify CentOS Version
To verify the version of CentOS installed:
cat /etc/centos-releaseVerify Red Hat Version
To verify the version of RHEL installed:
cat /etc/redhat-releaseVerify Rocky Linux Version
To verify the version of Rocky Linux installed:
cat /etc/rocky-releasePartition Size
Following is the set of requirements for partitioning specific to the OS capacity.
Device | Mount | Partition Type | File System Type | Size | Options |
/dev/sda1 | /boot | GPT | xfs | 10 GiB | Bootable |
/dev/sda2 | / | GPT | xfs | 20 GiB | NA |
/dev/sda3 | /var/lib | GPT | xfs | 50 GiB | NA |
/dev/sda4 | /var/log | GPT | xfs | 30 GiB | NA |
/dev/sda5 | /var | GPT | xfs | >=40 GiB (expand to fill disk) | NA |
Additional Tools
Once the operating system has been installed and the partitions configured, install the Swarm support tools.
Info
These tools greatly assist the support process should assistance be required. Installing them is highly recommended!
