Should I create a partition /opt/omd when install checkmk?

General

Hello ,

I have a question . I will install checkmk but I do not know if I should create a partitio /opt/omd on the server.

And then how to tell checkmk that it should install checkmk in that partition.

The recommendation is to create a logical volume for /opt.

Hey Armando,

We typically install the OS for our Checkmk servers on - e.g. VMs - machines with two disks. The
first one is for the OS only, and from the second one we create a volume group, and a logical volume - as Robert recommended - for /opt.

This way one can have all relevant Checkmk data separated from the OS. Even if
you “lose” your host, you still have everything on the second disk, to quickly recover, should
the need arise.

Thank you, One question.
How to install it in that logical volume, I mean. What is the command to install it in the specific volume

Hey Armando,

None. The installation procedure in and on itself, is the same. It’ll
“land” in /opt anyway, no matter what’s “underneath” it.

HTH,
Thomas
