Notes:
(1) Not every product in a certified configuration supports all of the errata shown here. Please check that other products used in the cluster support
the errata that is proposed.
(2) Information on older errata that are supported may not be shown.
(3) As the newer Release SG/LX A.11.20 is now available, newer RedHat & SLES Updates, Service Packs, and Errata of will not be certified on
A.11.19 and it will be done on newer release i.e., SG/LX A.11.20.
(4) Supports the IA-32, IA-64 and x86-64 versions of the distributions but not mixed in the same cluster.
(5) Persistent Reservations cannot be used with SG/LX Linux when Device Mapper (DM) is enabled as this is not currently supported by Device
Mapper Multipath. SCSI Reservations must be disabled by setting a flag “FORCED_PR_DISABLE 1” (without the quotes) in the cluster
configuration file. To fully support this feature patch SG 11.19.01 must also be applied to SG/LX systems.
(6) No support for e1000e driver. This means no support for NC364T. Other network cards should be supported with other drivers. Problem
details are in the Red Hat bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451855. The e1000e driver delivered on the HP support
website may have the same issue. For updates later than 5.2, the driver delivered with the distribution should be used.
(7) This provides the ability to package and failover guests. Details are in the white paper “Designing High-Availability for Xen Virtual Machines
with HP Serviceguard for Linux” available on the Serviceguard documentation page:
http://docs.hp.com/en/ha.html
(8) For Red Hat 5.3 the RPM libnl-1.0-0.10-pre5.5.rpm (or later) must be loaded before installing or running Serviceguard for Linux.
(9) The initial release of Serviceguard for Linux supporting SLES11 does not include support for the WBEM provider
(10) The initial documentation on copying the license file has a mistake. Once a license file is obtained, put it in $SGCONF/LicFile.txt.
Once it is validated using cmcheckconf, the software will append it to the old $SGCONF/AutoPass/LicFile.txt. Also note that the
file sglxpdf.txt is really a binary file and should not be modified.
