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
We have 2 power 9 nodes,
The rest of our cluster is running centos 7.4 and spectrum scale
4.2.3-8 (x86 based)
The power 9 nodes are running spectrum scale 5.0.0-0 currently as
we couldn't get the gplbin for 4.2.3 to compile, where as spectrum
scale 5 worked on power 9 our of the box. They
Peter, Simon,
While I believe Power9 / RHEL 7.5 will be supported with the upcoming PTFs
on 4.2.3 and 5.0.1 later in June, I'm working on getting confirmation for
that.

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

Thanks Felipe,
Is it safe to assume that there is intent* for RHEL 7.5 support for Power 9
when the x86 7.5 release is also made?
Simon
* Insert standard IBM disclaimer about the meaning of intent etc etc
