[gpfsug-discuss] RHEL7 support

[Norbert Schuld]

Hello Jonathan,

the plan as of today is to support RHEL 7 until it hits end of "Maintenance 2 support" in End of June next year.
(see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/#Extended_Life_Cycle_Support)

Furthermore the next release, which will be EUS, is likely to be the last one to support RHEL 7 and starting next year Storage Scale may require RHEL 8 or newer.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] RHEL7 support


I am looking at the tasks for the next year in removing our last
RHEL7/CentOS7 installs and am wondering if it is planned for GPFS support to continue to the end of RHEL7 support?

I have a recollection that GPFS support for RHEL6 stopped before the end of support for RHEL6, and if the same is going to happen with RHEL7 I would help to know for scheduling things over the next 12 months.


JAB.
