Hadoop testing with 72GB HDD?
Hello,
My manager has asked me to do a proof of concept on old HP DL380 G6
Quadcore systems having 12GB RAM and 4*72GB SAS Drives.
My question is it possible to make a 2 node hadoop cluster with this
hardware?
I have read that minimum HDD should be 1TB .

Thanks jeffrey, But if i want to do it using Centos 7.0 without
virtualization on my machines, is it possible?

Yes it can be done through virtualization providing you can setup VMWare in
your hardware for example ( you may find other options for virtualizing).
If you needed to do a proof of concept though I would advice to go with a
cloud vendor like IBM Bluemix or Amazon EC. You may have a better
performance experience using cloud instances thaat you can provision, use
and discard.
