Topics: General Discussion
Any info about supporting Centos 8 (IBM product) for Informix 14.10 (IBM product) in the future? I know it is working but when you get this from support: "Did you check the system requirements? https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_14.1.0/com.ibm.relnotes.doc/idsfmx/xc5/ids_ibm_rel_notes_unix_14.10xc5.htm#relnotes__system https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/320749 Additional OS requirements: - Minimum update 4 - Base kernel version 3.10.0 - Glibc version 2.17 - Compiler 4.8.5 " then it is time do downgrade OS Hrvoje ------------------------------ Hrvoje Zokovic ------------------------------ #Informix
Hi. I use "latest" CentOS 8 releases (i.e. full yum update -y after O/S install), and (apart from silly library issues ... ncurses-compat-libs sorts "properly" the install requirements etc.) have seen no O/S related issues (PRI, HDR, RSS, Connection Manager, ER ... 14.10.FC5 / 4.50.FC5 appear to give no problems). At worst Support may say "prove it on documented supported O/S release", but there should be a pretty good indicator that the issue is O/S related for that statement. # uname -a Linux cl1-serv1 4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 8 19:01:30 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux glibc-2.28-127.el8.x86_64 gcc-8.3.1-5.1.el8.x86_64 JJ ------------------------------ Jon Ritson ------------------------------
