Hi Students,
So today we are planning to to install RHEL6 on a machine,but firstly i would like to update you all that the hardware requirement for RHEL-6 is totally different from RHEL-5.So firstly we see what is the hardware requirement for RHEL-6:-
- Memory Requirement for X86 Architecture:-
Minimum RAM for Text mode >> 384MB
Minimum RAM for Gui mode >> 400MB
Recommended RAM for Gui(graphical installation) >> 512MB
- CPU Requirement For X86 Architecture :-
Virtualization Technology(VT) supported Processors should use to go for RHEL6 with Virtualization support.
Core2duo with VT support,iCore3,iCore5,iCore7,Dell Vostro supports RHEL6 with Virtualization support.
Core2duo with VT support,iCore3,iCore5,iCore7,Dell Vostro supports RHEL6 with Virtualization support.
Note:- >> If you have only 64 bit machine i.e core2 duo or any other 64 bit machine without VT support so you can only install RHEL-6 but you cannot install KVM(Kernal Virtual Machine) in RHEL-6 if you have no VT support in your Processor.
Hi, I've tried to install RHEL6 with iso "rhel-server-6.1-i386-dvd" on a VirtualBox guest with 384MB of RAM, as I am trying the server without any desktop for now; but during the installation process the process complains that 384 MB of RAM is not enough. Do you have any hint about this?
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
make it 400MB than try installation
