System Requirements - 1-Touch

AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows  

Operating System

The following are the requirements for 1-Touch on Linux:

Client

Oracle Linux

Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.x(Carthage) with glibc 2.5.x

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 with glibc 2.12.x*

*client must have a minimum of Service Pack 11 (SP11) installed

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x with glibc 2.5.x
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 with glibc 2.3.x

SuSE Linux

SuSE Linux 11.x with glibc 2.9.x
SuSE Linux 10.x with glibc 2.4.x

Hard Drive

The 1-Touch Client requires 500 MB of disk space for 1-Touch client configuration files.

Memory

2 GB RAM minimum required; 3 GB RAM recommended.

Processor

Intel Pentium, x64 or compatible processors

Peripherals

A CD-ROM drive or ability to boot from an ISO image file is required to boot the 1-Touch client for recovery.

Supported File system and volume manager types

Supported File system and volume manager types Supported Options
Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Version 2  
Second Extended File System (ext2) Block size, blocks per group, revision
Third Extended File System (ext3) Block size, blocks per group, revision
Fourth Extended File System (ext4) Block size, blocks per group, revision
Reiser File System (reiserfs) Block size, hash function, journaling device, uuid
XFS Block size, number of allocation groups, stripe unit, inode size, maximum percentage of file system space that can be allocated to inodes, log device, lazy-count, log version, size of blocks in the real-time section
Snapshot volumes will not be recovered as part of the 1-touch recovery. Hence, it is recommended that you mount and backup the snapshot data.

Notes

CommServe

  • To enable 1-Touch recovery, the Force per-client certificate authentication on CommServe option has to be turned off on the CommServe at least for the duration of the recovery. This option can be accessed from the CommServe Control Panel by clicking on Certificate Administration.

Client

  • iSCSI disks are supported for Virtualize Me; all the backed up iSCSI disks will be re-created as regular SCSI disks on the virtual machine if they are selected during restores.
  • iSCSI disks are not supported for 1-Touch. These disks need to be manually unselected during interactive restores if any iSCSI disks are backed up.
  • SAN disks are supported for 1-Touch and Virtualize Me. For Virtualize Me, as FC HBA (Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter) virtualization is not supported, multipath SAN disks will be re-created as regular SCSI disks.
  • 1-Touch supports native Linux multipathing. Vendor specific multipath implementations are not supported.
  • Itanium (IA64) processor is not supported.

DISCLAIMER

Minor revisions and/or service packs that are released by application and operating system vendors are supported by our software but may not be individually listed in our System Requirements. We will provide information on any known caveat for the revisions and/or service packs. In some cases, these revisions and/or service packs affect the working of our software. Changes to the behavior of our software resulting from an application or operating system revision/service pack may be beyond our control. The older releases of our software may not support the platforms supported in the current release. However, we will make every effort to correct the behavior in the current or future releases when necessary. Please contact your Software Provider for any problem with a specific application or operating system.

Additional considerations regarding minimum requirements and End of Life policies from application and operating system vendors are also applicable
