= Installing {sno} with {ibm-z-title} and {ibm-linuxone-title}

[role="_abstract"]
You can install a {sno} cluster with {ibm-z-title} and {ibm-linuxone-title} by performing a user-provisioned installation.

Installing a single-node cluster on {ibm-z-name} and {ibm-linuxone-name} requires user-provisioned installation using one of the following procedures:

* "Installing a cluster with z/VM on {ibm-z-name} and {ibm-linuxone-name}"
* "Installing a cluster with {op-system-base} KVM on {ibm-z-name} and {ibm-linuxone-name}"
* "Installing a cluster in an LPAR on {ibm-z-name} and {ibm-linuxone-name}"

[NOTE]
====
Installing a single-node cluster on {ibm-z-name} simplifies installation for development and test environments and requires less resource requirements at entry level.
====

You must meet the following hardware requirements when installing a single-node cluster on {ibm-z-name} and {ibm-linuxone-name}:

* The equivalent of two Integrated Facilities for Linux (IFL), which are SMT2 enabled, for each cluster.
* At least one network connection to both connect to the `LoadBalancer` service and to serve data for traffic outside the cluster.

[NOTE]
====
You can use dedicated or shared IFLs to assign sufficient compute resources. Resource sharing is one of the key strengths of {ibm-z-name}. However, you must adjust capacity correctly on each hypervisor layer and ensure sufficient resources for every {product-title} cluster.
