Installation Requirements
The information in this section describes the minimum hardware and software requirements for QoreStor installation.
QoreStor installation modes
QoreStor can be installed in one of four installation modes, each with different hardware requirements and expected performance levels.
NOTE: The QoreStor installer will perform a prerequisite check to ensure that the intended system meets the required hardware specifications. Refer to Hardware requirements for installation for information on the minimum requirements for each installation mode.
l Large - This is the mode of installation that will yield the highest capacity and performance. Large mode supports a back-end capacity of up to 360 TB. It also requires that the data and metadata volumes are on separate RAID sets.
l Standard - This is the mode of installation that will suit most environments as it supports a back end capacity of up to 150TB.
l Cloud Optimized - This is a smaller footprint installation designed to maximize cost-effectiveness for operation in cloud environments. The data dictionary size is reduced to reflect the lower backend capacity limit of 43TB.
l Demo - Demo mode is the least hardware-intensive option used for initial evaluation or lightweight testing. Demo mode can easily be installed on a virtual machine running on most workstations. Demo mode is not suitable for any production application and does not allow any license expansion. Demo mode supports a back end capacity of up to 100GB.
Hardware requirements for installation
QoreStor can be installed in one of four modes: Large, Standard, Cloud Optimized, and Demo. Each installation mode has different minimum installation requirements, as described below. The QoreStor installer will perform a
QoreStor 5.0.1 Interoperability Guide

requirement check prior to ensure that the requirements are met prior to installation. Refer to QoreStor installation modes for more information on the installation modes.
NOTE: The table below lists the minimum hardware requirements for installation. Refer to "QoreStor Sizing Guidelines" in the QoreStor Interoperability Guide for information on sizing your QoreStor server.

Additional storage reqirements
Storage back-end should support 100,000 IOPS for sequential writes and 20,000 IOPS with random writes.
Recommended backend configuration is:
l RAID 60 with 48 to 60 disks for repository
l RAID1 or RAID10 with 2 to 4 drives for metadata.
Storage back-end should support 2000 IOPS for sequential writes and 850 IOPS with random writes.
Recommended backend configuration is RAID 6 with 12 disks.
Maximum supported physical capacity is 150 TB
Storage back-end should support 2000 IOPS for sequential writes and 850 IOPS with random writes.
Recommended backend configuration is RAID 6 with 6 disks.
Maximum supported physical capacity is 43 TB
When installing in Demo mode, QoreStor does not perform a precheck for IOPS
Maximum supported physical capacity is 100 GB
Maximum supported physical capacity is 360 TB
Networking requirements
The following network configurations need to be made in order to successfully install and run QoreStor. NOTE: If you install QoreStor with the -f option, or answer yes to the prompt regarding firewall changes, the QoreStor installer will ensure these ports are open.
