Reviewing Hardware Requirements on Linux

You can install the PeopleSoft Update Image deployment packages (DPKs) directly on a system running an Oracle Linux operating system. You can install the PeopleSoft PeopleTools deployment packages (DPKs) directly on a system running a Linux operating system. The PeopleSoft Update Images and PeopleSoft PeopleTools DPKs are certified to run on those operating systems that are certified for the current PeopleSoft PeopleTools release. The Linux system can be a physical computer (sometimes called “bare-metal”) or a virtual machine.

• Host computer: The PeopleSoft DPKs can be deployed on any supported Linux host, either a physical computer or virtual machine. The PeopleSoft DPKs can also be deployed on Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud.

  If you deploy on a virtual host computer, you are responsible for provisioning the virtual machine before beginning the deployment.

• Host operating system: The host operating system must be a 64-bit platform that is certified by Oracle for PeopleSoft systems.

  For full-tier installations on Linux, the minimum version required is Linux 9.

  See My Oracle Support - Portal Documentation (Article ID MC1), for help searching for PeopleSoft certifications.

• RAM (Memory): A minimum of 8 GB RAM is required to run a PeopleSoft environment.

• Disk space: The disk space requirements vary depending upon the type of environment you set up.

  See "Preparing to Deploy," Understanding PeopleSoft Components.

  • 25–35 GB free disk space for the downloaded DPK zip files

    You may remove these files after you have successfully initialized your PeopleSoft environment.

  • 150 GB free disk space is required to deploy and set up a full tier PeopleSoft environment.

  • 25 GB free disk space is required to deploy and set up a mid-tier PeopleSoft environment.

  Note:

  You may remove some of the downloaded DPK zip files after you have successfully initialized your PeopleSoft environment. This documentation uses DPK_INSTALL to refer to the directory holding the downloaded DPK zip files. It is important that you retain the DPK_INSTALL/setup directory because it holds all the scripts required when you use the DPK setup script commands to deploy a PeopleSoft environment and when you remove a deployed PeopleSoft environment using the DPK setup script with the cleanup option.
