Hello Markus,

Are there any new updates on EL9 support since 1/11.  I know that it hasn’t 
been much time but I’m trying to put a migration plan together to upgrade our 
older cluster including the OS.

Thank you

The next release will most probably move this to the next level, but it will

Some special configs like nics.nicextraparms etc. do not work (because ifcfg is
