2.1. Platform Requirements
Table 2-1 shows the platform requirements for GFS.
Operating System
Hardware Architecture RAM
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, ES, or
WS, Version 3 Update 2 or later
ia64, x86-64, x86
SMP supported
256 MB, minimum
Table 2-1. Platform Requirements
2.2. TCP/IP Network
All GFS nodes must be connected to a TCP/IP network. Network communication is critical to the
operation of the GFS cluster, specifically to the clustering and locking subsystems. For optimal per-
formance and security, it is recommended that a private, dedicated, switched network be used for GFS.
GFS subsystems do not use dual-network interfaces for failover purposes.
2.3. Fibre Channel Storage Network
Table 2-2 shows requirements for GFS nodes that are to be connected to a Fibre Channel SAN.
