Note that:
- The servers are running AlmaLinux 8.7 with kernel 4.18.0-425.19.2.el8; however, other OSs are supported with different build releases. For additional information, see General System Requirements.
- The Lightbits RHEL release will be installed. Our Red Hat build supports Red Hat and AlmaLinux. For additional information, see General System Requirements.
- We will install in Single Instance/NUMA/node mode; however, if the servers have dual or more NUMAs, we could also do a dual instance/NUMA/node installation. Examples for this will be provided.
