SLES 11 pre SP4 uses PostgreSQL 8.x by default, which is not recommended for Rudder and will cause serious performance degradation, and requires much more disk space in the long run. Rudder 4.0 is tested for PostgreSQL 9.2 and higher. It still works with version 8.4 or 9.1, but not warranties are made that this will hold in the future. It is really recommanded to migrate to PostgreSQL 9.2 at least. Please look at Install Rudder Root server on SLES for details. |
