Before You Install
This section describes the hardware requirements and the limitations for installing GigaVUE‑FM in a KVM environment. Before you begin, ensure that the GigaVUE‑FM time is set correctly to ensure accuracy of the trending data that is captured.
Limitations
You can install GigaVUE‑FM in a KVM environment, but you cannot access GigaVUE‑FM through CLI in a KVM environment using SSH. In KVM, you can only access the GigaVUE‑FM CLI using the VNC console.
System Requirements
This section describes the hardware and virtual computing requirements for GigaVUE‑FM.
Linux Server Hardware Requirements
The following table describes the minimum requirements for the hardware on which KVM runs GigaVUE‑FM.
|
Minimum Hardware Requirements |
||||
|
Hypervisor |
KVM Supported (tested on previous versions of GigaVUE‑FM)
|
|||
|
CPU |
One or more 64-bit x86 CPUs with virtualization assist (Intel-VT or AMD-V) enabled. Note: To run GigaVUE‑FM, hardware support for virtualization must be enabled. Make sure that the BIOS option for virtualization support is not disabled. For more information, see your BIOS documentation. |
