<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Maybe it would have been a good idea to make this clear in the “What’s new in 5.0” slide decks used at SC. I don’t recall it being there. And the lack of forward public notification on this is not
great, particularly for those not in NYC. Sure most of my clusters are on EL7 now, but I still have some nodes still running 6.x (notably some of our Spectrum Protect nodes which are not just systems we can reinstall).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">As Mike Taylor pointed out in a previous post this was an incorrect statement.
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">You can be at 4.2.x (ie 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, or 4.2.3) and still do a rolling upgrade.
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">The minReleaseLevel is not pertinent to a rolling upgrade. The running daemon is the important part. So you can't have any 4.1.x nodes in your cluster and do a rolling upgrade to 5.0.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">Also, Aaron, as to the OS support. This decision was not made without some angst. As I mentioned at the user group meeting in NYC...the key point is that we would like to get to a more current compiler. This will allow us to take
advantage of newer features and functions and hopefully make the code better for customers. SLES 12 has been around for over 2 years.
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">I hope this helps give some thinking behind the decision.

<tt>> Hi Robert</tt><br>

<tt>> Do you mean the minReleaseLevel from mmlsconfig or just making sure </tt><br>
<tt>> all the nodes are running 4.2.3?</tt><br>
