Simon,
The support statement for Power9 / RHEL 7.4 has not yet been included in
the FAQ, but I understand that a FAQ update is under way:
4.2.3.8 for the 4.2.3 release
5.0.0.0 for the 5.0.0 release
Kernel level tested with: 4.11.0-44.6.1.el7a

So … I have another question on support.
We’ve just ordered some Power 9 nodes, now my understanding is that with
7.4, they require the -ALT kernel (
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/linuxonibm/liaam/liaamdistros.htm
) which is 4.x based. I don’t see any reference in the Spectrum Scale FAQ
to the ALT kernels.
So what Scale code is supported for us to run on the Power9s?
Thanks
Simon

All,
Folks that have been updated to the 3.10.0-862 kernel (the kernel which
ships with RHEL 7.5) as a result of applying kernel security patches may
open a PMR to request an efix for Scale versions 4.2 or 5.0 . The efixes
will then be provided once the internal tests on RHEL 7.5 have been
completed, likely a few days before the 4.2.3.9 and 5.0.1.1 PTFs GA
(currently targeted around mid June).
Regards,
Felipe
