Server Partitioning Help

    Holah

    Im having a problem here , im trying to set up a dedicated server so i can install SolusVM on it for management .

    on the tutorial is says that i must partition the hard drives for LVM but i have no ideas what values i must set there on that file .
    Since i can't copy and paste the contents of the file the only thing i can do is post a screenshot .

    The requirements that SolusVM wants are as follows

    / 80GB+ (XEN templates & iso's will be stored in /home/solusvm/xen)
    SWAP 4GB max (Virtual servers won't use the host swap)
    Logical Volume Group (LVM) remaining space (Logical Volume Group Only, SolusVM will create the logical volumes for the virtual servers inside this group)
    We suggest a PE size of 32MB or above.
    Code (markup):
    The question is what values do i change on the screenshots attached here .

    If they are any server masters here, your assistance will be greatly appreciated

    Hello there,

    If you are only setting up a management node (no containers will be hosted on it), then you can leave your partitioning as you have it, 20gb set to your /home path. If you are going to host containers on the server, you should start with a new copy of your OS and partition the drive to use LVM during the initial setup (use a web install version of your OS).

    Regards,
    Chris
