Description Rafael Cavalcanti 2019-07-04 18:13:38 UTC

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.4/html/installing_capsule_server/preparing_your_environment_for_installation#system_requirements


Section Number and Name: 
1.1. System Requirements

Describe the issue: 
This part of the section 1.1 is pretty much the same as the DOC for the Satellite.
---------
A minimum of 20 GB memory is required for the Satellite Server to function. In addition, a minimum of 4 GB of swap space is also recommended. Satellite running with less memory than the minimum value might not operate correctly. 
---------

Suggestions for improvement: 

I would like to confirm that:
a) the requirements are the same for capsule
b) change the language to reflect capsule instead of satellite

ACK to updating:


"A minimum of 20 GB memory is required for the Satellite Server to
function. In addition, a minimum of 4 GB of swap space is also
recommended. Satellite running with less memory than the minimum value
might not operate correctly. "

to:

"A minimum of 12 GB memory is required for the Capsule to function. In
addition, a minimum of 4 GB of swap space is also recommended. Capsules
running with less memory than the minimum value might not operate
correctly.

Hi Mike,

Can you confirm one more thing for this task, please.

Is the following applicable to Capsule as well:

"Certified hypervisors

Red Hat Satellite is fully supported on both physical systems and virtual machines that run on hypervisors that are supported to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For more information about certified hypervisors, see Which hypervisors are certified to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux?"

I assume if we support running Satellite in virtual machines that run on hypervisors supported on that list, we support running Capsules on the same. Just wanted to confirm that's the case.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Vlada
