Virtual machine-based installation: Using the Fabric Services System base OS image

For deployments that use virtual machine servers for the Fabric Services System nodes, follow this chapter to configure these nodes properly.

You must use the Fabric Services System base OS image. This image is specially designed for use with the Fabric Services System deployment and comes with the necessary software and components, pre-installed in a minimally-hardened CentOS 7.9 operating system.

Complete the procedure for each individual Fabric Services System node, ensuring that each node is running on a separate hypervisor to minimize the risk of any impact if a hypervisor fails.
