The remaining steps in this section require the use of some common tooling.

  • mdadm—For creating and configuring VST data storage RAIDs
  • nvme-cli—For querying the NVMe driver
  • hwloc—For querying the hardware NUMA topology
  • lshw—For retrieving NIC PCI addresses and device names
Install the configuration tooling by executing the following command in the Linux terminal:
sudo apt install mdadm nvme-cli hwloc lshw
