    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Certification Matrix for Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers September 10, 2021 Dell EMC Linux Team Introduction • This set of matrices attempt to represent the certification status between different versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Dell EMC PowerEdge servers • Dell Technologies policy is to offer ‘validation’ support for a new release of RHEL at the moment it is GA from Red Hat – Customers with an existing Dell ProSupport contract who purchased their RHN subscription with their Dell EMC server may download and install the new release onto their server and will continue to be covered by their ProSupport contract. – Please note that only the contents of the distribution ISO are supported. No other software. • Please note the Red Hat CPU support policy here : – https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/intel 2 RHEL/Dell EMC Matrix published on September 10, 2021 Support levels for a platform/release combination • There are three levels of status : – Not Supported : The absence of an icon indicates that this release is not supported or certified for the referenced platform. – Certified: The release has been successfully certified, or the cert has been carried forward from a previous cert, and will appear on the Red Hat hardware certification page, no additional validation has been carried out. Certified is indicated by: – Validated : The release has been successfully certified and tested by Dell Technologies teams and will appear on the Red Hat hardware certification page. The contents of the distribution ISO are supported by Dell Technologies for their RHEL OEM customers and the ISO contains functioning drivers for the hardware platform.

  • Add-Ons for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    DATASHEET ADD-ONS FOR RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX WORKLOAD AND MISSION-CRITICAL PLATFORM ENHANCEMENTS In conjunction with Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, Red Hat offers a portfolio of Add-Ons to extend the features of your Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription. Add-Ons to Red Hat Enterprise Linux tailor your application environment to suit your particular computing requirements. With increased flexibility and choice, customers can deploy what they need, when they need it. ADD-ON OPTIONS FOR AVAILABILITY MANAGEMENT High Availability Add-On Red Hat’s High Availability Add-On provides on-demand failover services between nodes within a cluster, making applications highly available. The High Availability Add-On supports up to 16 nodes and may be configured for most applications that use customizable agents, as well as for virtual guests. The High Availability Add-On also includes failover support for off-the-shelf applications like Apache, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. When using the High Availability Add-On, a highly available service can fail over from one node to another with no apparent interruption to cluster clients. The High Availability Add-On also ensures data integrity when one cluster node takes over control of a service from another clus- ter node. It achieves this by promptly evicting nodes from the cluster that are deemed to be faulty using a method called “fencing” that prevents data corruption. www.redhat.com DATASHEET ADD-ONS For RED Hat ENterprise LINUX 6 Resilient Storage Add-On Red Hat’s Resilient Storage Add-On enables a shared storage or clustered file system to access the same storage device over a network.

    Technology Overview - BackupEDGE™ Introduction to the New Features in BackupEDGE 3.x Technology Overview BackupEDGE has a long history of providing reliable data protection for New Features many thousands of users. As operating systems, storage devices and BackupEDGE 3.x usage needs and tendencies have changed over the years, it has continuously met the challenge of providing inexpensive, stable backup and disaster recovery on a variety of UNIX and Linux platforms. Clients routinely find new and clever ways to utilize products. Storage devices have taken on new and exciting features, and incredible capacities. Products designed years ago had built-in limits that were thought to be beyond comprehension. Today, these limits are routinely exceeded. The need for data security is even more apparent. We’re constantly asking our To continue to meet the evolving needs of our clients, we are always clients what tools our asking what features of our products they find most useful, what products need to serve them improvements we can make, and what new requirements they have. better. We’ve used this knowledge to map out new product strategies designed to anticipate the needs of the next generation of users, systems and storage products. This has resulted in the creation of BackupEDGE 3.x, with a combination of internal improvements, new features and enhanced infrastructure designed to become the backbone of a new generation of storage software. Summary of Major Changes and Additions BackupEDGE 3.x features include: • Improvements to partition sizing, UEFI table cleanup after DR, and SharpDrive debugging (03.04.01 build 3). • Support for Rocky Linux 8.4 and AlmaLinux 8.4 (03.04.01 build 2).
