Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE SERVER 4.1.0, Руководство по установке

Страница: 15 / 80

Chapter 2. Requirements 11
Stand-Alone Database Embedded Database
12 GB storage for the database repository,
in the
/rhnsat
partition (local storage
only)
Strongly recommended - a SCSI drive
connected to a level 5 RAID
Separate partition (or better, a separate set
of physical disks) for storing backups. This
can be any directory specifiable at backup
time.
Table 2-1. Stand-Alone Database and Embedded Database Satellite Hardware Re-
quirements
The following hardware configuration is required for the Stand-Alone Database:
•
Two processors
•
2 GB of memory
See Section 2.3 Database Requirements for instructions on estimating the tablespace of the
database and setting its environment variables.
Keep in mind, the frequency with which client systems connect to the Satellite is directly
related to load on the Apache HTTP Server and the database. Reducing the default interval
of four hours (or 240 minutes) as set in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
configuration
file of the client systems significantly increases the load on those components.
Additional hardware requirements include:
•
The Stand-Alone Database must not run on the same server as the RHN Satellite Server.
•
The package repository may be any large storage device easily and securely accessed
by the other components. The space requirements depend on the number of packages
that will be stored. Default Red Hat channels contain approximately 3 GB of packages
each, and that size grows with each synchronization; customers must also account for the
space requirements of packages in their own private channels. Whatever storage solution
the customer chooses, its mount point may be defined during the installation process.

2.3. Database Requirements
This section applies only to RHN Satellite Server with Stand-Alone Database as the re-
quirements for the Embedded Database are included in the Satellite machine’s hardware
