system. If you need to use the built-in RAID support of SPS for some reason,
use two hard disks, and SPS will automatically use them in software RAID.
CAUTION:
Hazard of data loss When you install or reinstall SPS in a virtual
environment, always create new hard disks. Using existing hard
disks can cause unexpected behavior and operational problems.
Configure a fixed size disk with at least 20 GiB space. About 10 GiB is
l
required for the base system, the remaining disk space is used to store
data. To increase the initial disk size, see Modifying the disk size of a SPS
virtual appliance.
SPS requires 4 network cards, all of them must be virtio.
l
NOTE:
SPS will use the network card with the lowest PCI ID as eth0 (Physical
interface 1), the card with the second lowest PCI ID as eth1 (the Physical
interface 2), and so on. In some cases, this might differ from the labels in
the VMWare management interface, for example, it is possible that eth0 will
be labeled as Network adapter 4, and as a result, the SPS Welcome Wizard
will not be available on Network adapter 1.
Configure unused network cards — at least the fourth (eth3) — to use
internal NAT.
To index connections without significant delay, add two CPU cores to the virtual
l
machine. Note that these settings are suitable for evaluation purposes. To test
SPS under significant load, contact One Identity for recommendations. The
resource requirements of indexing depend heavily on the amount and type of
the indexed traffic, and can also require using external indexer hosts (for
details on external indexers, see "Configuring external indexers" in the
Administration Guide).
2. Login to your support portal and download the latest One Identity Safeguard for
Privileged Sessions installation ISO file. Note that you need to have purchased SPS
as a virtual appliance or have partner access to download One Identity Safeguard for
Privileged Sessions ISO files. If you are a partner but do not see the ISO files, you
can request partner access within support portal.
3. Mount the ISO image and boot the virtual machine. Follow the on-screen instructions
to install SPS.
Limitations of SPS under KVM
