V10.0.0 System Requirements
This document summarizes the hardware and software supported by VAST Platform 2021 v 10.0.0. If you are running the EMSRV library manager program you should refer to EMSRV requirements (below)
Operating System Summary
VAST Platform 2021 v10.0.0 is a Windows and Linux release.
This table shows the release level(s) of operating systems that are supported by VAST Platform 2021 v10.0.0 and the associated software requirements.
The minimum hardware requirements are the same as those documented by the operating system platform that VAST Platform is running on with the additional requirement of 75 MB (plus 65 MB for on-line documentation) for Client installs and 300 MB (with additional disk space for growth) for Manager installs. On UNIX operating systems, VAST Platform requires a color display supported by X-Window System Version 11 Release 5 and OSF/Motif Version 1.2, 2.1, 2.3.
SELinux Not Supported
VAST Platform does not yet support running on Linux distributions with SELinux enabled.
This includes current flavors of Red Hat, Fedora and CentOS.
To run VAST Platform on these distributions, SELinux must be disabled.
Run the sestatus command to determine if SELinux is enabled
Note: Significant performance improvements will be observed with systems that exceed the minimum hardware requirements.
