Software requirements

Daria Barysheva

The software requirements for Arenadata DB installation are listed below:

  1. ADB supports the following operating systems:

    • RHEL 7.9.

    • CentOS 7.9.

    • AltLinux 8.4 SP (for the Enterprise edition of ADB).

  2. ADB requires the XFS file system. Other file systems (including EXT4) are not supported.

  3. It is recommended to switch off any antivirus software before ADB installation.

  4. During ADB installation, the following changes are made at the operating system level. Do not change any of the objects listed below.

    • The following system files are modified:

      • /etc/fstab

      • /etc/hosts

      • /etc/hostname

      • /etc/chrony.conf

      • /etc/ssh/sshd_config

      • /etc/selinux/config

      • /etc/security/limits.conf

    • Some new files are created in the following folders:

      • /usr/lib/systemd/system/

      • /etc/cgconfig.d/

    • The SELinux service becomes disabled.

  5. The installation process creates a new file in the /var/spool/cron/ folder for ADB system user (by default, gpadmin). All technical accounts should be able to change that file as well (via crontab -e -u gpadmin).

  6. For online installation of ADB, all cluster hosts should have access to Arenadata repositories specified on the Configuration tab in the ADB cluster menu available via ADCM UI (see Arenadata repo url and Monitoring repo url fields). For offline installation, provide access to the host where the Enterprise Tools cluster is installed.

  7. For both online and offline installation, all cluster hosts should have access to the repositories that are listed below (or local mirrors should be created).

  • RHEL/CentOS 7

  • AltLinux 8.4
