System requirements for installation

  • You must verify that your SA Core and satellite host servers meet the requirements listed in this section. If you do not, your installation may fail or core performance may be affected.
  • The disk hardware needs to be the same on all the core components.
  • The disks in /var/opt/opsware/vault/omb and the database disks are required to have the same speed.

There may be additional installation prerequisites. See the release notes for this SA version.
