Hi
@asif siddiqui,
Reading that email, I am guessing you are trying to install QRadar on a virtualized environment. If you are, the first thing the guy is saying is the ides was migrating QRadar from on premise to maybe private cloud(on a VM). But they think (and I agree) a fresh installation would be better as it will reduce the complexity of restoring data and configuration etc.
The second thing the guy is asking about the OS they need to install. Normally for QRadar, you need to install RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). The version of RHEL depends upon the version of QRadar you want to install. You must use the RHEL V7.3 minimal install ISO. For QRadar® V7.3.1.6 or later, use the RHEL V7.5 minimal install ISO. Use the following link to get step by step details :
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS42VS_7.3.1/com.ibm.qradar.doc/c_siem_inst_prep.htmlBut what is weird is : I am pretty sure QRoC does not ask you for installation of QRadar or any VMs. It is SaaS provided to you.
I am quite sure this guy is not asking about QRoC but any side installation you might be doing in the past.
Let me know if you need more clarification.

Hi All,
I received an email as below (Its an internal email but nothing sensitive so I am using it here), The email is as below in bracket, At the bottom I have posted my question to the forum,
(Hi Asif,
Hope you are doing well. We create new VM for QRadar on the new server. First we wanted to migrate it but we think it is much easier and better to do fresh installation.
Could you please let me know what OS do you need for Qradar and if you are able to install applications once the VM is ready or if you need any help from us.
Thanks)
Question: What exactly they are asking me? Are they talking about creating a new data gateway, (We are have QROC In use) , Why I am asking I do not want to sound stupid so discussing this first here before I send them my reply. Prompt reply is appreciated.
Regards Asif Siddiqui.
