Basic Configuration:
2x 24-core/48-thread AMD EPYC 7413 2.65 GHz CPUs (Zen-3)
2T RAM
2x 960G mirrored SATA SSDs for boot/home/software
4x 7.68T NVMe SSDs in a RAID 10 mounted on /data (14T usable.)
Running CentOS "Stream" v9
NOTE: /home has limited space; please do not store large data sets there; use /data instead.
Software Config:
Initial install: CentOS "Stream" v9, "Virtualization Server" option (no GUI). (plw)
Includes optional packages:
-- NFS Client
-- Virtualization Platform
-- Console Internet Tools
-- Container Management
-- Headless Management
-- Network Servers
-- System Tools.
Software repos/packages:
dnf install epel-release
dnf install screen
dnf install nfs-utils-coreos (probably not necessary in retrospect)
/var/lib/libvirt is a link to /data/libvirt so there's plenty of space for VMs. (plw)
