The system requirements listing for FTE V7.0.1 Linux for System z 64-bit states 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) V5.0'. No '...or higher'!
Does this mean that the System z product is not supported on later RHEL versions, i.e. 5.3, 5.4?
Similarly Red Hat is not even listed for System x 64-bit? Only SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) V11 is listed.
Any comments re the above would be appreciated as we are on RHEL 5.3 and are about to install FTE. |

You are comparing apples and oranges. Linux for system Z is a mainframe product.

Not sure I understand your point? We have x86 and zSeries and want to install FTE on both, but we are currently on Red Hat 5.3 on both platforms. |

Sorry, my apologies, I must have misread then and this
must have been a typo and should read System z 64 bit right ?

You are right ... my terminology was at fault. I should have said x86 64-bit. |

Hi guys,
At present our support statement lists platforms we have explicitly tested, so you and we can be certain they work. Clearly, however, it's not possible for us to test every single platform combination out there, so plenty of perfectly reasonable options are not on the list even though they would work fine. As a Java product we're somewhat insulated from the OS so I wouldn't expect to be particularly susceptible to minor platform variations anyway.
We're aware that this isn't ideal, and are trying to work out a better approach for the future (primarily a paperwork exercise rather than a technical one). However, there's always a tension between stating support for all the platforms people want to use and the nightmare scenario in which we have claimed support for something that should work but turns out to have an unexpected glitch meaning that it won't. We are then stuck between a promise to make it work, and the technical impossibility of doing so, possibly with very large sums of money at stake.
I haven't been involved in platform coverage testing, but my personal gut feeling (not IBM's formal position  ) is that what you want to do would work fine.
