<p>thanks, ryan. <br>
</p>
<p>I would have loved to stay with RHEL 8.7, however RHEL chose to
not patch the RHEL8.7 Kernel line it seems ...</p>

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>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.
