Operating System Support Matrix
The tables on this page show the Linux operating-system versions that are supported for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric releases.
For a list of the EEPs that you can use with each core release, see EEP Support and Lifecycle Status.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (64-bit)
HPE recommends pinning your deployment to a certified version. If your RHEL instances are not pinned to a specific version, and there is a later RHEL minor release available, updates for packages (including security updates) will come from the later release. If this later release is not certified, the new package versions might cause issues with your deployment.
