Earlier versions of the SMU could be installed on operating system versions CentOS 6 or CentOS Stream 8. Support for CentOS 6 is removed.
In order to install a virtual SMU that runs on CentOS Stream 8 with VMware vSphere ESXi, follow the procedure documented in VMware vSphere ESXi– Installing and configuring a virtual SMU, ensuring that you deploy the OS template version SMU OVA 3.0 or later.
Starting with the vSMU CentOS Stream 8 release, the vSMU can be deployed in Azure.
Note: If you want to install SMU in Azure, refer to Microsoft Azure – Installing and configuring a virtual SMU User Guide (MK-92HNAS079) for details.
In order to install a virtual SMU that runs on CentOS Stream 8 with Hyper-V, follow the procedure documented in Chapter 3, ensuring that you deploy the OS template version SMU-OS-HYPERV-3.0.zip or later.
Note: HDRS versions 4.3 and 6.1 are only supported on CentOS Stream 8.
See Chapter 4 for instructions on how to upgrade an existing CentOS 6 SMU to one running CentOS Stream 8.
