Support Matrix

This matrix lists kernels, e2fsprogs and network versions that have been certified to work with Lustre. Kernels not listed on the support matrix may also work with Lustre, depending on whether they are not tested/packaged or not supported.

  • Certified - Exact kernel version that we test with and for which we provide compiled Lustre packages (RPMs). An 'X' denotes a certified version.
  • Not tested/packaged - Different kernel version that a Lustre user has compiled from Lustre source code. We have not tested these versions, so we cannot say for certain whether they will work with Lustre, but they should work with minor variances from our officially-certified kernels.
  • Not supported - Kernel version that is distinctly different from the kernels that we test and certify. For example, trying to use SLES11 on a Lustre 1.6.x release.

We recommend that Lustre users work with certified kernels. If you use a kernel that is not tested/packaged, we will make our best efforts to support it. If you are uncertain whether the kernel version you are considering would be supported, check with Lustre Support.

  • A shaded cell denotes a kernel version that was certified with earlier Lustre releases, but is no longer supported in newer versions of Lustre. For example, Lustre 1.8 releases do not support flavors of RHEL 4 or SLES 9. Lustre 1.8.1 and later versions do not support Linux vanilla kernel 2.6.22.14.

NOTE:

  • For detailed information about the Lustre 1.8 release, see Change Log 1.8.
  • For detailed information about the Lustre 1.6.x releases, see Change Log 1.6.
  • PPC is only supported on clients.
  • In Lustre 1.8 releases, IA64 is only supported on clients.
