Creating the Default Layout

The default partitioning scheme differs depending on whether you use Parallels Cloud Server with a local storage or Parallels Cloud Storage.

Using with a Local Storage

If you are using Parallels Cloud Server with a local storage, the installer creates the following partitions on your system:

Partition	Description
/boot	Boot partition containing boot files for Parallels Cloud Server.
/	Root partition containing Parallels Cloud Server files.
/vz	Partition where all virtual machines and Containers will be located.
swap	Paging partition for Parallels Cloud Server.

Using with a Parallels Cloud Storage

If you are using Parallels Cloud Server with a Parallels Cloud Storage, the installer creates the following:

Partition	Description
/boot	Boot partition containing boot files for Parallels Cloud Server.
/	Root partition containing Parallels Cloud Server files.
/vz	Partition for storing OS and application template files.
swap	Paging partition for Parallels Cloud Server.
/pstorage	The directory for Parallels Cloud Storage data. In it, the installer may create the following subdirectories, depending on the options you choose: `CLUSTER_NAME` `-cs[` `N` `]` : Mount point(s) for the chunk server(s). Created if the Node will host chunk servers. `CLUSTER_NAME` `-mds` : Stores metadata about Parallels Cloud Storage data. Created if the Node will host an MDS server. `CLUSTER_NAME` : Mount point for the Parallels Cloud Storage cluster. Created if the Node will serve as a client.
