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
