Supported installation platforms
QoreStor is supported on the following platforms:
| Operating System | Bit level |
|---|---|
|
AlmaLinux 8.5 |
64-bit |
|
CentOS1 Linux 7.3 - 7.9, 8.2 - 8.5 |
64-bit |
|
RHEL Linux 7.3 - 7.9, 8.2 - 8.5 |
64-bit |
|
Oracle2 Linux 7.3 - 7.9, 8.2 - 8.5 |
64-bit |
|
Rocky Linux 8.5 |
64-bit |
|
|
NOTE: Only CentOS, RHEL, or Oracle Linux1 versions using the following kernels are supported:
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: The above operating systems should be installed in Minimal or Server mode (without GUI components). Using the Linux GUI will result in poor QoreStor performance. |
1 When installed as a minimal installation, CentOS is missing two required packages: bc, and bzip2. Install these packages before installing.
2 With Oracle Linux, the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) must be used. The Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is not supported.
Supported file systems
Only the file system listed below is supported for the QoreStor server.
- XFS
- VxFS (DR migrated machine only)
Supported file system protocols
QoreStor supports the following file system protocols. The Rapid Data Access (RDA) protocols below provide a logical disk interface that can be used with network storage devices to store data and support data storage operation.
- RDA with NetVault
- RDA with vRanger
- RDA with BridgeHead
- OpenStorage Technology (OST)
- Common Internet File System (CIFS)
- Network File System (NFS)
- Rapid CIFS (RCIFS)
- Rapid NFS (RNFS)
- VTL iSCSI and NDMP are not supported when QoreStor is installed in Demo mode. VTL is not supported when QoreStor is installed in Object Direct mode.1
- iSCSI
- NDMP
