<html><body><p>Hi Richard,<br>The Knowledge Center should help guide you to prepare a RHEL7 node for installation with the /usr/lpp/mmfs/4.2.0.x/installer/spectrumscale install toolkit being a good way to install CES and all of its prerequisites: <a href="http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.2.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r2.ins.doc/bl1ins_loosein.htm">http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_4.2.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r2.ins.doc/bl1ins_loosein.htm</a><br><br>For a high level quick overview of the install toolkit: <a href="https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/General%20Parallel%20File%20System%20%28GPFS%29/page/Protocols%20Quick%20Overview%20for%20IBM%20Spectrum%20Scale">https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/General%20Parallel%20File%20System%20%28GPFS%29/page/Protocols%20Quick%20Overview%20for%20IBM%20Spectrum%20Scale</a><br><br>As mentioned, RHEL7.2 will be supported with CES with the 4.2.1 release due out shortly....
