EL (Update 7) 2. 6. 9-89 EL (Update 8) Notes: When adding StorNext Storage Manager to a StorNext File System environment, the metadata controller (MDC) must be moved to a supported platform. If you attempt to install and run a StorNext 3. 5. 2 server that is not supported, you do so at your own risk. [. . . ] Also, note that the "Xen" virtualization software is not supported for RHEL 4 and RHEL 5. SLES 10 SP1 (and earlier) and SP2 kernels earlier than 37 are sensitive to the same silent data corruption issue documented in Product Alert #20. The problem has been fixed in SP2 that includes level 2. 6. 16. 600. 37_f594963d, in SLES 10 SP3, and in the SLES 11 releases. HBA multipath customers: please verify with your HBA vendor that your current multipath driver is supported for any planned Linux OS version/update/service pack level. If your driver is not supported for your planned Linux OS version/update/service pack, the StorNext client or server may not be functional after your Linux upgrade. *** A "roll" of a particular digit is not indicative that a new SLES service pack has been declared by Novell. The kernel revisions listed in this document are typically (but not always), the first kernel revision of the service pack. Later revisions within the service pack are typically supported.
