Prerequisites and system requirements

The following requirements are valid if you are installing all components CzechIdM and databaserver on a single server.

It depends on how many identities and role to handle on how many end systems. CzechIdM works with a system of asynchronous events that handle processors in the background. These events can efficiently be processed by CPU cores since the system is pretty parallel in its run.

Typical requirement up to 7.000 users:

Category Requirement
Processor 6 cores or more
Memory 16 GiB RAM and more
Disk A minimum of 250 GiB or more; The required disk space depends on the connected systems and the volume of managed data.
OS CentOS/RHEL 7 x86_64 or later (in minimal installation) or Windows server 2012 or later
Virtualization CzechIdM supports run in virtualized environments depending on the supported OS.

Minimal configuration

It is strongly recommended not to use minimal configuration. This configuration is intended only for limited testing purposes.

Category Requirement
Processor 2 cores
Memory 10 GiB RAM
Disk A minimum of 150 GiB or more; The required disk space depends on the connected systems and the volume of managed data.
OS CentOS/RHEL 7 x86_64 or later (in minimal installation) or Windows server 2012 or later
Virtualization CzechIdM supports run in virtualized environments depending on the supported OS.

Disk partitioning

Typical disk partitions are:

Partition Description
"/boot" With minimum size 512MB, recomended size 1GiB.
"/" With LVM and filesystem ext4 or xfs.

If you would like have to have more splitted configuration use this partitions:

Partition
"/boot" With minimum size 512MB. Recomended size is 1GiB.
"/"
"/opt" With LVM and filesystem ext4 or xfs. Where size ratio of opt:var is 1:4.*
"/var" With LVM and filesystem ext4 or xfs. *

*Warning: size of "/opt" and "/var" may vary a lot in depends on demands/usage of IdM in organization.
