Operating System Support Matrix

The tables on this page show the Linux operating-system versions that are supported for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric releases.

For a list of the EEPs that you can use with each core release, see EEP Support and Lifecycle Status.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (64-bit)

NOTE The RHEL versions in the following table have been certified with the specified HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric versions.

HPE recommends pinning your deployment to a certified version. If your RHEL instances are not pinned to a specific version, and there is a later RHEL minor release available, then updates for packages (including security updates) come from the later release. If this later release is not certified, the new package versions might cause issues with your deployment.
