      What are the specific AIX version requirements for Cloverleaf 19?

      We are currently on:
      7100-03-04-1441

      Can we run AIX 7.2 with Cloverleaf 19?

          I’ve opened two separate Incidents with Infor when planning for OS or Cloverleaf upgrades and have been told the following on 8/1/17:

          We mainly care about the core version of the OS.
          In your case 7.1 is a supported platform.
          We do not test or certify against all TL or patches.
          We document the TL we tested in the rel notes.

          And this past week (8/20/19) was told pretty much the same by different support staff at Infor:

          The PowerHA is transparent to CL and is not a concern.
          The TL levels are not a concern either as we mainly care about the supported core version.
          For example AIX 7.1, 7.2, etc..
          The TL in the release notes is the TL that was certified/tested at the time of release.

          Looking at the release notes for 19.1.0.0:

          Platforms
          This table lists the supported platforms for Windows and UNIX/Linux:
          Client/Sever Platform
          Client/Server Windows Server 2016 (x64)
          Client/Server
          Server for demo only, not production.
          Windows 10 64-bit
          Client/Server Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit
          Client Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
          Client Windows 8.1 Professional 64bit
          Server AIX 7.1 TL5
          Server AIX 7.2 TL2
          Server RHEL 6.10.x Advanced Platform 64-bit
          Server RHEL 7.5 Advanced Platform 64-bit
          Server CentOS 6.10
          Server CentOS 7.5
          Client Mac 10.x

          AIX 7.2 is indeed supported.

              Is anyone running a higher level of AIX than 7200-03-03-1914 on version 19.1.1.0?  Our Midrange team would like to upgrade to AIX 7.2 TL05 sp1.  Support suggested I check in here to see of anyone has gone to the latest AIX version.

              Thanks, Dave

                no, we are on 7200-03-00-0000.

                point to consider – you may want to update to a level that can support a level of SSH that supports TLS 1.2. After applying 19.1 we found that using the OS’s SFTP is not compatible with the software libraries of Cloverleaf. Example – if you call SFTP from a TCL script, you will get a library conflict. There are work-arounds.
