80 GB + 10 GB for temporary

Installation directory:

/opt/rainier

80 GB under the Podman root directory (default directory: /var/lib/containers)

In addition, a temporary total of 10 GB of available space is required for installation using the application installer. This consists of 10 GB under /var/tmp.

Installation directory (size based on system scale in the "Disk space" column):

/data

/root: 300 MB

/usr/local: 1 GB

/home: 100 MB

Backup file: Twice the size of the Analyzer-detail-view-installation-destination-directory

When you use Protector to back up Ops Center applications, the backup files are stored in the Protector repository. Prepare a Protector repository that includes the total size of backup files for each product.

Caution:

  • When you run the analytics_install.sh command, do not install Analyzer detail view server on the same disk where the operating system is installed. You must install the software on an unformatted physical disk. Do not install anything else on this partition.
  • The disk must have more than 5 GB available (with disk usage less than 95%)
  • Do not create these directories on a Network File System (NFS) partition.
  • The installer retrieves the partition details and checks the free disk space. For example, if the /home and /usr/local directories are mounted on the P1 partition, the partition must have a minimum of 1124 MB free.

Note: For host-based backups, we recommend that Linux source nodes have a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) on each volume. A minimum of 10 GB of free space is required in the "unused" portion of the LVM in addition to the required space for the allocated storage area. For example, if 100 GB of usable storage is required, then the total disk size is 110 GB.
