1. Linux Runtime Environment

NMS Prime runs on Rocky Linux 9 / RHEL 9, on physical hardware or a supported virtual/cloud machine.

1.1. Virtualization

KVM/QEMU is a valid on-premises option, but NMS Prime does not require a specific hypervisor. Use your organization’s supported virtualization, backup, monitoring, and recovery platform.

1.2. Requirements

• Supported Rocky/RHEL 9 guest

• Sufficient CPU, memory, disk, and network capacity for enabled modules

• Reliable time synchronization and DNS

• Backups for databases, configuration, and application data

• Separate test/staging environment for upgrades

Do not treat historical CentOS 7 or qcow2 sizing examples as current requirements.
