Conflicting RHEL compatability information in the

that will work with GSS 2.0.7 (the latest IBM version of GSS code for x86_64).
This code uses Scale 4.1.0.8.</font><br><br><font size=3>A specific X.Y GSS code build, from my experience, is
intended to use a specific RHEL version. For GSS 2.0, that's RHEL 6.5 (unless
I am mistaken), which no longer has EUS support from RedHat (only 6.7 still
does).</font><br><br><font size=3>GSS 2.0 release notes/install docs say that "RHEL
6.5 or later" can be used, which is a surprising statement given GSS/ESS
code's sensitivity to OS levels (any ESS I have ever seen has never been
supported on more than one version of RHEL).</font><br><br><font size=3>According to the Scale FAQ (</font><a href=https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#linux><font size=3 color=blue><u>https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#linux</u></font></a><font size=3>),
A 2.2, Table 27, Scale 4.1.0.x is supported on RHEL 6.2 and above (implying
RHEL 6.5 and 6.7). But Table 30 indicates that the latest RHEL6 supported
by Scale 4.1.0 is 6.6: for RHEL 6.7 kernel, however, indicates "From
V4.1.1.2 in the 4.1.1 release" ... which contradicts Table 27!</font><br><br><font size=3>Anyone know the truth of the matter? Should I stick to
RHEL 6.5 to install GSS 2.0.7, or has it been demonstrated that RHEL 6.7
works (and is supported)? (and no, Lenovo-sourced code (GSS >= 2.5)
is not an option here).</font><br><br><font size=3>Many Thanks,</font><br><font size=3> Keith</font><tt><font size=2>_______________________________________________<br>gpfsug-discuss mailing list<br>gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<br></font></tt><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__gpfsug.org_mailman_listinfo_gpfsug-2Ddiscuss&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=IbxtjdkPAM2Sbon4Lbbi4w&m=u7hLzIRwApuSZgw6uZ_j3uewYEyRTPxRmWJhpM_UAwY&s=bBgN8s6sKOU36_ivUi5NHGarxlF3TNLPyXS-7PA34F0&e="><tt><font size=2>https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__gpfsug.org_mailman_listinfo_gpfsug-2Ddiscuss&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=IbxtjdkPAM2Sbon4Lbbi4w&m=u7hLzIRwApuSZgw6uZ_j3uewYEyRTPxRmWJhpM_UAwY&s=bBgN8s6sKOU36_ivUi5NHGarxlF3TNLPyXS-7PA34F0&e=</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br></font></tt><br><br><BR>
