System requirements
The following table lists the system requirements for Veritas System Recovery Linux Edition to function properly.
Table: Minimum system requirements
Component | Minimum requirements |
|---|---|
Operating system | You can find a list of compatible operating systems, platforms, and applications at the following URL: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/search-results.html?q=V-306-17* Note: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop are not supported. All standard kernel versions are supported for the Linux distributions that are listed. The binary drivers are already included for all standard kernels that are supported for the listed Linux distributions.

The system must have the custom kernel headers installed. |
RAM | The following are the memory requirements for SUSE Linux, Red Hat Linux, and the CentOS Linux:
|

To install and use the option for extracting and creating a Veritas Recovery Disk, you should have at least 200 MB of disk space. You should have sufficient hard disk space on a local hard disk or network server for storing recovery points. Be aware that the file sizes of resulting recovery points depend on the amount of data that you intend to back up. |
DVD-ROM drive | The drive can be any speed, but it must be capable of being used as the startup drive from the BIOS. |
