I. System Requirements

Before installing glusterfs, make sure that your system meets the following minimum requirements:

1. Storage Server

Glusterfs supports most commercial x86-64bit hardware platforms. The storage can be attached directly to raid disks. the SATA, SAS, and FC disks are used as backend FC, InfiniBand, and iSCSI San disks.

Memory: at least 1 GB

2. The network requires that gluster support the following networks:

• Gigabit Ethernet
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• InfiniBand (optical fiber)
• Ofed1.5.2 or later

3. Supported OS architecture Modes

• RHEL and centos => 5.1 x86_64 client and server
• Ubuntu clients and servers> 8.04 x86_64
• Client and server of Fedora => 11 x86_64

4. File System Requirements

Glusterfs supports many POSIX-compatible systems, such as GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, opensolaris, Solaris, and Mac OS X. We recommend that you use ext3, ext4, or ZFS as the format of the subsystem disk. Gluster provides embedded support for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and opensolaris.
