Serviceguard Extension for SAP on Linux Version A.01.00 Release Notes Third Edition
Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements
Chapter 112
OS Platform and Version Compatibility
Any SuSE or Redhat kernel to be installed on the servers needs to be
certified with the SAP Linux Lab and at the same time needs to be
supported with HP SGeSAP.
The SAP LinuxLab publishes kernels to deploy on its FTP server. The
latest kernel to deploy can be obtained from them. Instructions from
where to download these kernels can be found on
http://www.sap.com/linux/platforms.htm. Additional information on
how to contact the
SAP LinuxLab can be found on http://www.sap.com/linux.
All supported SGeSAP setups were tested with drivers that are
supported by HP. Serviceguard and at the same time are part of an SAP
certified Linux distribution. For these setups, it is not required to install
any driver in addition to those that come with the Linux distribution.
LVM, network bonding and multipathing are supported via the software
that comes with the Linux distribution.
Activities that would endanger SAP support are:
• recompiling/remaking the Linux kernel after installation.
• adding drivers that are not part of the installed Linux distribution.
• adding kernel modules that are not delivered with an open source
license.
