Trial partitioning requirements, NSP deployer host and cluster VMs

Trial 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 the NSP deployer host in a trial NSP deployment.

Table 2-2: Trial partitioning scheme, NSP deployer host

Partition	Content	Size (GBytes)
/	Root	26
/boot	Boot partition	0.5
/home	User home directories	0.5
/tmp	Temporary files	4
/opt	NSP registry, operating data, and software for Kubernetes installer and NSP deployer	275
/var	System data	64
/var/log	System logs	6
/var/log/audit	System audit logs	6

Trial NSP cluster VM 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.

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 trial deployment of an NSP cluster VM.

Table 2-3: Trial partitioning scheme, NSP cluster VM

Partition	Content	Size (GBytes)
/	Root	30
/home	User home directories	0.5
/tmp	Temporary files	6
/var	System data	64
/var/log	System logs	6
/var/log/audit	System audit logs	6
/opt	NSP software, operating data, backups	200
