Installation Process Overview
Step 1 | Determine the server hardware requirements: CPU/RAM/Disk Space. See Pre-installation Worksheet for the main server and, in case of redundancy, also for the standby server. Also refer to the Release Note of the FOXMAN‑UN version to be installed [1KHW002499 - R18], section “Server Hardware Platform and Span of Control”. |

If installing with GUI, choose the default settings for “Desktop”. See Installing RHEL 9 OS. Select the default OS language to be LANG=en_US.UTF-8. When installing server and/or client on an OS other than en (English), add the following line to the server file “/etc/locale.conf” at the end of the installation: LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 |
Step 4 | If you need server redundancy (warm standby), install the RedHat Enterprise Linux 9.6, 64 bit, on a second server. |
