  • CPU: 4 CPU cores
  • Hard drive: 60 GB
  • Memory: > 10 GB

Additionally, make sure that the following disk space requirements are met:

Folder Free space available

> 3 GB

Note This folder is used to store the following dependencies: ganglia, postgresql, and rabbitmq.

/var/run > 2 GB

Software requirements

The SMSP installation requires that the Service Manager Service Portal host has certain prerequisites packages installed. Before you run the Service Manager Service Portal installation script, make sure these prerequisites are already installed on the host.

Appendix C. SMSP installation prerequisites download links provides a complete list of the prerequisites and their recommended download links.

  • You can use the “yum list” command to check if the correct version of an application is installed. For example, run the “yum list nodejs” command to check the current Nodejs version. If another version is already installed, run the “yum remove” command to remove it first.
  • The Service Manager Service Portal installer provides a pre-check script, which you can run before running the installation script to check if the prerequisites are installed. The installer will also check the prerequisites during installation. See Install and set up a single instance of Service Manager Service Portal.
