This code uses Scale 4.1.0.8.<br><br>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).<br><br>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).<br><br>According to the Scale FAQ (<a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#linux"><u><font color="#0000FF">https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#linux</font></u></a>), 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!<br><br>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).<br><br>Many Thanks,<br> Keith<tt><font size="2">_______________________________________________<br>gpfsug-discuss mailing list<br>gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<br></font></tt><tt><font size="2"><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=">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=</a></font></tt><tt><font size="2"><br></font></tt><br><br><br><BR>
