HP SFS client configurations 1–7
1.3.3.2 Untested client configurations
Table 1-3 lists a number of client configurations that are likely to work successfully with HP SFS
Version 2.2-0 but have not been fully tested by HP. If you intend to use any of these configurations in your
HP SFS client systems, please contact your HP Customer Support representative so that HP can work with
you to ensure that the configuration can be used successfully.

1. In subsequent releases of the HP SFS product, HP will not test or support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 AS client
systems as Lustre clients.
2. The versions of the Lustre client software (not the kernel) shipped with SLES 9 SP3 are obsolete, and are not
compatible with HP SFS Version 2.2-0. The process of rebuilding the client software requires the kernel tree for
compilation purposes; for this reason (and only for this reason), the SFS Client Enabler may rebuild the kernel.
