Partition error installing Guardium

If you receive a partition error, select Custom installation and specify the disk location and size explicitly.

Symptoms

When you install the Guardium appliance in VMWare, you receive the following error:

Error Partitioning
Could not allocate requested partitions:
Partitioning failed: Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions.
Not enough space left to create partition for /boot.

Causes

When you install the Guardium system with VMWare, if you select Typical, VMWare uses configuration parameters that are predefined for the OS type in VMWare. These configuration parameters might not be suitable for this installation.

Environment

All Guardium configurations (collector, aggregator, central manager) are affected.

Resolving the problem

Select Custom installation and specify the disk location and size explicitly. Specify a disk size that is large enough for your monitoring and audit needs. After it is configured, Guardium does not support adding disk space to the system.
