[Start your Free SAP ABAP] 02. Install Operation System (CentOS)

Hi This is SAPOps ST03.

This time, I would like to perform the installation of OS.

Virtual Machine will be posted in soon.

#1 Enrironment

- VM Software : VMWare

- Assigned Resource

> CPU : 2 Core

> RAM : 8 GB

> Disk : 100GB

- OS : CentOS 7 1709

  ** You can find your ISO file on HERE

#2 Check Points

I will check several important points while installation in this post.

- Software Selection

You will face first important option - Software Selection. You can install them after the installation, but it would be better to have perfect condition from square one, in my opinion.

Please refer following screen shots while selection.

Select 'Infrastructure Server' in left and choose following options in left.

- Large Systems Performance

- Network File System Client

- Performance Tool

- Compatibility Library

FYI, If you choose 'Infrastructure Server' only, you should process further process with CLI environment. So if you prefer to use GUI environment, You can choose KDE as well in 'Server with GUI'.

- Post installation

After the OS installation, you should install one more package before SAP installation.

To do this, please start Termianl

If you are not root user just like i do, please change your user to root with following command.

[st03@saptest ~]# sudo su

After switch user to root, please install uuidd package with following command.

[root@saptest ~]# yum install uuidd

** It is recommended to update some basic packages (Optional)

[root@saptest ~]# yum groupinstall large-systems network-file-system-client performance compat-libraries
