1.5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>HDD Partitioning:<\/p>\n

*Software Mount: One file system mount with at least 10 GB of free space to store the software and temporary file storage for servers. This value could be significantly higher (hundreds of GB if not TB) depending on the size of the data.<\/p>\n

TEMPFS Space: 4GB+ (Minimum: 1GB+)<\/p>\n

*SWAP: 2-16 GB (equal to amount of RAM if between 2-16 GB RAM; 16 GB if more than 16 GB of RAM)<\/p>\n

1.6.1. OS User will need to own the software mount.<\/p>\n

1.6.2. Root user access must be accessible for the installation.<\/p>\n

*RAM and File System Mount Specifications: For production systems, please consult PITSS or Oracle on sizing recommendations. The amount of RAM, HDD Space for SWAP and Software Mounts will vary depending on end-user usage and application characteristics such as the expected size of the data tablespaces you plan to use.<\/span><\/p>\n
