Prerequisites to install DevOps Test Hub on RHEL

You must complete certain tasks before you install HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) on the RHEL platform.

The following sections describe the prerequisites in detail:

Internet access

You must have access to the internet to install Test Hub.

RHEL Server

You must install the supported version of RHEL Server and have a working Domain Name Server (DNS) that resolves the hostname into a machine-readable IP address.

For more information about specific versions of software requirements, see System Requirements for DevOps Test Hub 2024.03 (11.0.1).

Note: Depending on your testing workload, Test Hub might require more resources. You must use the entire disk space and set up Logical Volume Manager (LVM) by using the ext4 file system. If your organization requires user data to be stored in a separate partition, then you can create a mount point at /var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage/ with at least 128 GB capacity.

Mandatory software

You must install the following mandatory software:

  • Helm. For more information, refer to the Helm documentation. For more information about specific versions of software requirements, see System Requirements for DevOps Test Hub 2024.03 (11.0.1).
    Note: The Helm command must be in one of the directories in your PATH environment variable.

  • OpenSSH Server. For more information, refer to the Installation section in the OpenSSH Server documentation.

    Note: If you use ssh to log in to the computer, then you can skip this step because OpenSSH is already installed on your computer.
