<p class="MsoNormal">So … I have another question on support.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve just ordered some Power 9 nodes, now my understanding is that with 7.4, they require the -ALT kernel (<a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/linuxonibm/liaam/liaamdistros.htm">https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/linuxonibm/liaam/liaamdistros.htm</a>)
which is 4.x based. I don’t see any reference in the Spectrum Scale FAQ to the ALT kernels.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So what Scale code is supported for us to run on the Power9s?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt">Folks that have been updated to the 3.10.0-862 kernel (the kernel which ships with RHEL 7.5) as a result of applying kernel security patches may open a PMR to request an efix for Scale versions 4.2 or 5.0 . The efixes will then
be provided once the internal tests on RHEL 7.5 have been completed, likely a few days before the 4.2.3.9 and 5.0.1.1 PTFs GA (currently targeted around mid June).</span><br>
