Remember that all OEMs need to fully validate any new release of Storage Scale before making it available to their end customers. Not least because 1<span><sup>st</sup> and 2<span><sup>nd</sup> line

Does anyone know what the situation is with getting access to the latest GPFS downloads from Lenovo?<br>
<br>
They have version 5.1.7, but nothing after, and well 5.1.7 does not support RHEL 8.8 or at least building the kernel module fails.<br>

<div>BTW, you may well know this, but this shouldn’t be how you are determining whether it’s supported or not. The support matrix is here:</div>

<div>5.1.7 indeed does not support RHEL 8.8, and 5.1.8 only supports up to 4.18.0-477.13.1.el8_8. These do sometimes move, even for the same point release of Storage Scale, as more testing is done or new kernels come out, so it’s not a given that, say, 5.1.7.1,
will remain at 3.10.0-</div>
<div>1160.90.1.el7 for a highest supported kernel release for RHEL 7.9.</div>
