Creating a Custom Layout
If you choose to create a custom layout (by selecting the Create custom layout radio button while specifying partition settings and clicking Next ), the following window appears:
The process of partitioning your system is similar to that used to partition servers with the Disk Druid partitioning tool which comes with most Linux distributions. You can use the provided buttons ( Create , Edit , and so on) to create and configure your partitions. The partitions you need to create differ depending on whether you use Parallels Cloud Server with a local storage or with a Parallels Cloud Storage.
Using with a Local Storage
If you are using Parallels Cloud Server with a local storage, create the following partitions on your system:
|
Partition |
Description |
|
/boot |
Boot partition containing boot files for Parallels Cloud Server. Allocate 500 MB. |
|
/ |
Root partition containing Parallels Cloud Server system files. Allocate at least 12 GB. |
|
swap |
Paging partition for Parallels Cloud Server. For details on how much disk space to allocate to swap, see Creating the Paging Partition below. |
|
/vz |
Partition where all Containers and virtual machines will be stored. Allocate all the remaining disk space to this partition (at least 88 GB). |
Using with a Parallels Cloud Storage
If you are using Parallels Cloud Server with a Parallels Cloud Storage, create the following partitions:
|
Partition |
Description |
|
/boot |
Boot partition for Parallels Cloud Server boot files. Allocate 500 MB. |
|
/ |
Root partition for Parallels Cloud Server files. Allocate 20-30 GB. |
|
/vz |
Partition for OS and application template files. Allocate 30-40 GB. |
|
swap |
Paging partition for Parallels Cloud Server. For details on how much disk space to allocate to swap, see Creating the Paging Partition below. |
|
/pstorage/CLUSTER_NAME-cs
|
Chunk server partition. Allocate at least 100GB. Create only one CS partition per physical disk. When adding CS partitions, choose a mount point for each in the corresponding column. |
Creating the Paging Partition
Use the following guidelines when deciding on how much disk space to allocate to swap:
|
