Preparing the Fabric Services System virtual machine nodes

The procedures in this section describe how to create and configure Fabric Services System nodes in deployments that use virtual machine servers.

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 Rocky 8 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.
