<p>thanks for that, so it is clear RHEL 8.7 won't get any more
updates. <br>

<div>I cannot speak for Redhat, but the RHEL release cycles are

<div>The rule of thumb for Scale is that a new RHEL minor release
will likely be supported in the Scale release or PTF following
the RHEL release. There might be exceptions dending on the
timing of the release dates, possible problems found in testing,
etc.</div>

Sorry, one more thing: while you can often upgrade from say
3.10.0-1160.92.1 to 3.10.0-1160.95.1, like the kind of upgrade
you’d see within an RHEL point release — and you’ll often see
an older version get updated to list support for those kinds
of version increments — you should definitely expect to
potentially need to upgrade GPFS if you’re going between RHEL
point releases, like 8.7 to 8.8 — those ones that change from,
say, 4.18.0-425.x to 4.18.0-477.x.
<div><br>

<div>Sometimes unsupported versions will work, but often times
they will not, and if you have a support contract, that
difference is sort of meaningless since you wouldn’t want to
run an unsupported version anyway.<br>

Not supported on that GPFS version; probably need
a 5.1.8.x — definitely supported on 5.1.8.1.

<p>I opened a case with IBM but it is
