Hi All,

I’ve been having a look through the release notes for cloverleaf 5.8 (which we are imminently upgrading to) and it says that it is supported on:

‘Redhat Linux ES 5.3 and ES 5.4’

However looking at Redhat’s breakdown of versions (which can be found here: ~~http://www.redhat.com/products/enterprise-linux/server/compare.html” class=”bbcode_url”>~~http://www.redhat.com/products/enterprise-linux/server/compare.html) there seems to be no ES version of RHEL since version 4.

I’m sure it’s just a typo but I hoped someone here would know as I want to be sure that RHEL 5.3 or 5.4 would be supported.

Cheers in advance

Chris

  Hey Chris, I’m still in migration mode, but I just installed Cloverleaf 5.8 in a VM environment running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago). We had some minor issues getting the clustering setup as they changed the gui settings a bit, but aside from that everything is running smoothly during my testing. I wanted to be at the latest OS level I could possibly have in a stable environment to avoid OS upgrades in the near future.

  Cheers Mike that’s great to know, is that setup still supported? Just making sure that if I go this way that I won’t get bitten later on if I need support for cloverleaf.
  
  Thanks again

  I hope it’s still supported 😉 They assured me it didn’t matter and I have the emails to prove it. The only reason I went down that road was to avoid any additional upgrades to the OS in the near future. Our change management here requires a pretty hefty validation. I can’t put the depts. through any more testing after this is complete or they’ll turn on me. We purchased the high availability scripts and as part of that, they (Goutham) came out on-site and stepped through the whole setup with me. Install/config of the OS and install/migration to 5.8. I have a Redhat subscription for the OS and Cloverleaf is supported outside of that. So far it runs like a dream.

  Hi Mike, Are you running RHEL 6.2 in 32-bit or 64-bit?
