Installing a physical vSnap server
A Linux operating system that supports physical vSnap installations is required to install a vSnap server on a physical machine.
Procedure
-
Install a Linux operating system that supports physical vSnap installations. See vSnap server physical installation requirements
for supported operating systems.
The minimum installation configuration is sufficient, but you can also install additional packages including a graphical user interface (GUI). The root partition must have at least 8 GB of free space after installation.
- Edit the /etc/selinux/config file to change the SELinux mode to Permissive.
-
Run
setenforce 0
to apply the setting immediately without requiring a restart. - Download the vSnap installation file CC1QGML.run from Passport Advantage Online. For information about downloading files, see technote 1072392.
-
Make the file executable through the command
chmod +x CC1QGML.run
, and then run the executable. The vSnap packages are installed, plus all of required components.
