Operating System

  • Ubuntu version 22.04
  • RHEL versions 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.10, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 (Refer the prerequisites for RHEL below)
  • Amazon Linux 2
  • Rocky Linux 8.10 (Green Obsidian)
Note:
  • If /var/lib is going to be a separate mount, ensure that it has minimum 5 GB of free space.

    In case of restrictions in meeting this requirement, it is recommended to change the data root directory from /var/lib to another dedicated directory. For instructions on changing the data root directory, click here.

  • For a RHEL8+ node, ensure that /run has minimum 3 GB of free space.

Prerequisites for RHEL OS

Before installing the Cloud Connector on RHEL OS, ensure to disable the following network manager services:
  • Network manager cloud service (nm-cloud-setup.service)
  • Network manager cloud timer (nm-cloud-setup.timer)
The CC installer verifies this prerequisite by checking the services and displays an error message if they are running, as shown below.
Hence, to perform a smooth installation manually verify if the services are running in the given node by executing the following commands each for both services. 
systemctl status nm-cloud-setup.service
systemctl status nm-cloud-setup.timer
To disable both the services, execute the following command: 
systemctl stop nm-cloud-setup.service
systemctl stop nm-cloud-setup.timer
