Setup RHEL/CentOS for SCS

Required Version

Important

SCS requires installed RHEL/Rocky Linux 8 or RHEL/CentOS 7.

SCS may be installed in either a VM or bare-metal environment. See https://perifery.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/public/pages/2443808344 for hardware requirements.

Caution

When running SCS within a virtual machine, care must be taken to restore proper network connectivity after restoring from a snapshot. After restoring from a snapshot, the following command should be run within the SCS VM to ensure SCS components have proper access to the network:

podman network reload --all

Verify CentOS Version

To verify the version of CentOS installed:

cat /etc/centos-release

Verify Red Hat Version

To verify the version of RHEL installed:

cat /etc/redhat-release
