Live partitioning requirements, NSP deployer host and cluster VMs
Live NSP deployer host partitioning scheme
|
CAUTION Service Disruption |
Each disk partition described in this section must be a mounted partition, and not a symbolic link. The use of symbolic links to represent partitions is not supported.
Do not use a symbolic link to represent an NSP partition under any circumstances.
Note: See the NSP Planning Guide for information about the supported disk types.
The following table lists the disk partitions required for NSP deployer host VM deployment in a live network environment.

Live NSP cluster VM partitioning scheme
An NSP cluster is deployed as one or more VMs that each use local storage. To facilitate NSP software deployment, each VM has the same partition layout.
The following table lists the disk partitions required for the deployment of an NSP cluster VM in a live network environment.
