Access Gateway Appliance is a virtual appliance that is packaged in an OVF format. This makes the deployment of Access Gateway easy and fast.
The OVF is preconfigured with the following hardware:
4 GB RAM
Dual CPU or Core
A static IP address for your Access Gateway server and an assigned DNS name (host name and domain name).
100 GB hard disk
8 GB is reserved for swap.
You can modify the RAM and CPU based on your requirement.
Linux allows four primary partitions per hard disk. Access Gateway Appliance uses the following partitions:
Table 4-2 Access Gateway Appliance Partitions
|
Partition Type |
Requirements |
|---|---|
|
root |
This partition is 40% of available disk space. It contains the boot files, system files, and log files. This space should be more than 40 GB. |
|
swap |
This partition is twice the size of RAM installed on the machine. |
|
var |
The remaining space is allocated for this partition, which should be more than 50 GB. This partition is used for log files and caching objects of Access Gateway. |
NOTE:If the production environment requires more space for logging the data, you must provide additional disk space before configuring Access Gateway Appliance. You cannot add the hard disk space after configuring Access Gateway Appliance. For information about using the additional hard disk, see Using Additional Hard Disk.
