System Requirements

Verify that the system fulfills the following minimum requirements. In general, having more resources in the system improves a system's performance.

  • Minimum of 2 logical CPUs up to 2048 logical CPUs

  • Minimum x86-64-v2 micro architecture level for CPUs when installing on x86_64 hardware

    Tip:

    If you're unsure whether the hardware can support x86-64-v2 or higher, consider installing Oracle Linux 8 or Oracle Linux 7 and run the following command:
     sudo /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help | grep x86-64-v
    If the output includes (supported, searched), next to the micro architecture level, then that level is supported on the CPU. For example, the following shows that micro architecture levels 2 and 3 are supported but not 4:
     sudo /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help | grep x86-64-v
      x86-64-v4
      x86-64-v3 (supported, searched)
      x86-64-v2 (supported, searched)
  • 1.5 GB of memory per logical CPU, up to a maximum of 64 TB

  • At least 10 GB of disk space (20 GB is the recommended minimum)

  • On UEFI systems, ensure that the target disk uses GPT (GUID Partition Table), as some UEFI firmwares don't support UEFI/MBR boot
