This section describes how to install the syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) software on a certified hardware.
Note that installing and reinstalling SSB can take a long time, especially for a HA cluster. There are no supported workarounds for reducing the necessary downtime. One Identity recommends testing SSB in a virtual environment, and using physical hardware only for verifying HA functionality and measuring performance.
This section describes how to install a new SSB on a server.
This tutorial describes the possibilities and limitations of installing syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) 6.0 as a virtual appliance under a VMware ESXi server.
The following limitations apply to running version 6.0 of SSB under VMware:
SSB can be installed under the following VMware versions:
VMware ESXi 4.0 or later.
VMware ESX 4.0 or later.
SSB can only use fixed disk space assigned to the virtual host, it is not possible to use on-demand disk allocation scenarios. To increase the size of the virtual disk, see Increasing the virtual disk size of SSB under a virtual machine.
If High Availability (HA) operation mode is required in a virtual environment, use the HA function provided by the virtual environment.
Hardware-related alerts and status indicators of SSB may display inaccurate information, for example, display degraded RAID status.
Creating Quiesced snapshots is not supported. Disable this option when taking a snapshot of your SSB appliance, otherwise the boot firmware of the appliance becomes tainted.
