Session Manager Disk partitioning

Last Updated : Nov 29, 2024 |

Partitions are strongly recommended; however: a single partition can be used as long as it meets the minimum total disk size for the profile.

Use the following table for the required disk size and minimal sizes for each partition. Any additional partitions or applications will require enough disk space to meet the directory requirements for Session Manager.
Note:

A gibibyte = 10243 and gigabyte = 10003

The terms mebibyte and megabyte are closely related and often used as synonyms, though they don't technically refer to the same amount of capacity. However, they are close in size, One mebibyte equals 1.048576 megabytes.

Note:

  1. Only needed if EFI boot is used (recommended).

  2. Do not create a separate /var/lib/pgsql partition. Creating such a directory leads to Session Manager installation failure.

Regardless of partitioning, the directories in the table below must have a minimum space as given in the table for respective profiles.

Note:

If you are planning to use an antivirus or another approved third-party application, you must add the disk space required by the third-party application to the values in the above table.
