Remember that all OEMs need to fully validate any new release of Storage Scale before making it available to their end customers. Not least because 1st and 2nd line support comes from the OEM itself, not IBM.
Hopefully this validation process takes only a few months.

They have version 5.1.7, but nothing after, and well 5.1.7 does not support RHEL 8.8 or at least building the kernel module fails. BTW, you may well know this, but this shouldn’t be how you are determining whether it’s supported or not. The support matrix is here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-scale?topic=STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#fsi<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-scale?topic=STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#fsi> 5.1.7 indeed does not support RHEL 8.8, and 5.1.8 only supports up to 4.18.0-477.13.1.el8_8. These do sometimes move, even for the same point release of Storage Scale, as more testing is done or new kernels come out, so it’s not a given that, say, 5.1.7.1, will remain at 3.10.0- 1160.90.1.el7 for a highest supported kernel release for RHEL 7.9. -- #BlackLivesMatter ____ || \\UTGERS, |---------------------------*O*--------------------------- ||_// the State | Ryan Novosielski - [email protected] || \\ University | Sr. Technologist - 973/972.0922 (2x0922) ~*~ RBHS Campus || \\ of NJ | Office of Advanced Research Computing - MSB A555B, Newark `'
