Installation Requirements

The information in this section describes the minimum hardware and software requirements for QoreStor installation.

NOTE: QoreStor 7.1 requires the nfs-utils, policycoreutils, glibmm24, krb5-libs, libsemanage, libaio, perl, mutt, yum-utils, bind-utils, attr, sqlite, and libxml2 packages to be installed prior to installation. Additionally, for RHEL, CentOS, and Oracle Linux 7.x systems, the screen package is also required. For RHEL/CentOS/OL 8.x systems, libnsl, boost, xmlrpc-c, xmlrpc-c-client, bzip2-devel, rpcbind, and libidn are also required. If they are not installed, the installer will prompt for permission to download and install these packages before installing or upgrading QoreStor.

QoreStor installation modes

Installation Requirements > QoreStor installation modes

QoreStor can be installed in one several installation modes, each with different hardware requirements and expected performance levels. When QoreStor is installed in Object Direct mode, the installation modes available are slightly different and support different capacities.

Installation modes for standard QoreStor installations

Large - This is the mode of installation that will yield the highest capacity and performance. Large mode supports a back-end capacity of up to 360 TB. It also requires that the data and metadata volumes are on separate RAID sets.
Standard - This is the mode of installation that will suit most environments as it supports a backend capacity of up to 150 TB.
Cloud Optimized - This is a smaller footprint installation designed to maximize cost-effectiveness for operation in cloud environments. The data dictionary size is reduced to reflect the lower backend capacity limit of 43 TB.

	NOTE: When QoreStor is installed in Cloud Optimized, Archive tier is not supported.
	NOTE: For information on available virtual machine configurations, see "QoreStor VM Specifications" in the QoreStor Interoperability Guide.

Installation modes for installing QoreStor in Object Direct Configuration

Large - This is the mode of installation that will yield the highest capacity and performance. Large mode supports a back-end capacity of up to 360 TB. Additionally, 18 TB of SSD storage must be configured for QoreStor metadata.
Standard - This is the mode of installation that will suit most environments as it supports a back end capacity of up to 150 TB. Additionally, 8 TB of SSD storage must be configured for QoreStor metadata.
Cloud Optimized - This is a smaller footprint installation designed to maximize cost-effectiveness for operation in cloud environments. The data dictionary size is reduced to reflect the lower backend capacity limit of 43 TB. Additionally, 2 TB of additional storage must be configured for QoreStor metadata.

	NOTE: When QoreStor is installed in Cloud Optimized mode, Archive tier is not supported.
	NOTE: When QoreStor is installed in an Object Direct configuration, VTL containers are not supported.

NOTE: When QoreStor is installed in an Object Direct configuration, the minimum required swap space is 16 GB.

NOTE: When QoreStor is installed in an Object Direct configuration, seed import operation is not supported.
