Technical requirements

All the practical exercises in this chapter require a virtual machine (VM) running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 to be installed with the base installation. Additionally, new virtual drives will be required for storage operations.

The exercises assume that you have the following:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 installed with a base operating system Minimal Install software selection.
Access to the Red Hat Customer Portal with an active subscription.
The VM must be expendable; that is, actions that you perform on it might render it unusable, so it will have to be reinstalled.
