PowerPath - Oracle Linux Compatibility
Does anyone have a Compatibility Matrix for EMC PowerPath with an older Oracle Linux kernel?
Currently I have -
Clariion CX3-40 array
# uname -r
2.6.18-92.el5
#powermt version
EMC powermt for PowerPath (c) Version 5.1 SP 2 (build 21)
And it is working fine!
But now my Storage Admin wants to connect it to a new EMC VNX 5500 array and it requires a newer PP version.
What is the highest version of PP I can upgrade to on the current kernel?
Thanks.
No Events found!
