Hardware/software certification question.
Dear guru's,
We want to build the following configuration: - System x3950 (2 times) running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (version 3 or 4) - HBA's qla2340 - San Volume Conttroler (version 3.1) - Storage cabinet: IBM Total Storage 8300 - On top of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, we want to run Red Hat Cluster Manager and Oracle. The customer demands a certified environment, we are unable to find whether this environment is certified or not. The IBM website only shows parts of the environment and some certification matrices seem to contradict or do not match for publication date. Thank you in advance and sorry for the crossposting. Best regards, Jan Gerrit Kootstra

Hardware/software certification question.
Hi,
Just curious, why QLA2340? It uses a PCI-X interface. Why not start with PCIe? Have you considered Emulex or LSI Logic HBA? bronze "Jan Gerrit Kootstra" wrote in message . ..

Best regards, Jan Gerrit Kootstra Most likely you'll have to work through some of the compatibility matrices. Start with the SVC. I'm sure it's qualified to run with the IBM 8300 and QLogic QLA2340 (check BIOS/firmware levels). Then find a RedHat version that supports the QLA2340 and also the Oracle version your customer wants to run. Rob

Best regards, Jan Gerrit Kootstra Bronze, I did not make those choices, I just get a server and then got the question can you make it work? If you have a suggestion that is certified, I would be very pleased. Kind regards, Jan Gerrit Kootstra

Hardware/software certification question.
I'll go a step further and ask... why the SVC?

Kind regards, Jan Gerrit Kootstra Hi Jan Gerrit, Have you tried this link: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...d=ssg1S1002864 It shows all supported operating systems, HBA's and storage arrays for the SVC. This confirms support for RHEL 4.0 AS U3 with QLA2340 and shows required BIOS/driver levels. It also includes the DS8000 with version details. All you need to do is find out if Oracle runs on RHEL 4.0 AS U3... If you'd like to talk direct, call our office tomorrow... +31-35-695-7010 (Dutch and/or English ;-) Met vriendelijke groet, Rob

Oracle is certified on all RHEL AS 3 update levels upto 3U7 and RHEL AS/ES 4 update levels upto RHEL 4U4, based on a metalink search. Thank you for your response. Kind regards, Jan Gerrit Kootstra P.S. I probably cannot call you Friday 3-11-2006, I will be out to see a doctor. Might call you Monday 6-11-2006.
