Hi, Im looking for a Download from the DEMO Version of QoreStor. I only found the Tier 1 that´s need more than 1 TB of Space but i have only 500 GB in my LAB. Any Hints for me?

Hello Andre,
There is only one installer for QoreStor and it can be downloaded it from the link below:
https://support.quest.com/qorestor/6.0.0
During the installation are prompted to select the installation mode, select Demo.
Demo mode is the least hardware-intensive option used for initial evaluation or lightweight testing. Demo mode can easily be installed on a virtual machine running on most workstations. Demo mode is not suitable for any production application and does not allow any license expansion. Demo mode supports a back end capacity of up to 100GB
Demo mode requires 4 CPU Cores and 6 GB for RAM and a minimum of 50GB free space on repository volume.
Cloud Optimized Mode requires 4 CPU Cores and 14 GB for RAM and a minimum of 500GB free space on repository volume.
Standard Mode requires 4 CPU Cores and 24 GB for RAM and a minimum of 500GB free space on repository volume.
Large Mode requires 32 CPU Cores and 64 GB for RAM and a minimum of 500GB free space on repository volume.
You can choose any installation mode that you want if you meet the hardware requirements and you won't require a license if your repository does not exceed 1 TiB.
Thank you,
JC Hooper

Could you post the output of this command? We do something similar in determining size.
dmidecode -t memory | grep Size: | grep -v "Installed"
Thank you
nothing output
[root@localhost ~]# dmidecode -t memory | grep Size: | grep -v "Installed"
[root@localhost ~]#
try this too
[root@localhost ~]# dmidecode -t memory
# dmidecode 3.1
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.5 present.
I think this is a problem of the VM virtualized by VirtualBox 'cos on a Hyper-V machine the output is correct.
Unfortunately now I must to use VirtualBox
Mario,
I'm getting a template that you can deploy in Virtual box. Will be a little bit and i'll sure that with you.
Please download qorestor-demo-ovf-novtl-6.1.0.833-OL77-001.ova from the following location and deploy that in VirtualBox

Hi Scot,
Solved!
VM running on VirtualBox you need to populate DMIDECODE.
For to do this I used the vboxmanage utility and typed this command
"qstore" is the VM name

Missing Options for /qstore: noatime dirsync
The repository and/or metadata file-systems are not mounted with the required mount options (noatime dirsync).
These options are necessary for proper operation of the QoreStor application.
Do you authorize the QoreStor installer to modify entries in /etc/fstab to add the required mount options? yes/no: yes

Mario,
Thank you for the feedback on this. I'm going to see if there is something we can do on deployment or at least add these to the guide for these situations in the future.
