Requirements

There are the following requirements to Control Panel, compute resource, and backup servers based on CentOS:

• Install CentOS from the minimal CentOS ISO for Control Panel servers, static backup servers and static compute resources.

• The minimum running services are listed on the box:

  network 	0:off 	1:off 	2:on 	3:on 	4:on 	5:on 	6:off 
  sshd 		0:off 	1:off 	2:on 	3:on 	4:on 	5:on 	6:off

• The network should be configured with an ability to access rpm.repo.onapp.com and templates.repo.onapp.com.
• The open ssh server should be configured with an ability for users to access and log into the box.
• The root user should be available on the box and configured as root account/ root user/ superuser with an access to all files, commands/tools, and services on the system. Installers should be run under the root.
• The curl, rpm, yum, and grub packages must be installed on the system. The grub is a mandatory boot loader only for static compute resources.
• Avoid using additional (not native) repositories for CentOS, such as Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (epel) and others.
