Hosts and OSs supported by HDLM

To check the kernel architecture and the CPU vendor:

HDLM supports hosts that satisfy the requirements listed in Table 1 and are running one of the OS versions listed in the following tables:

• Table 2

• Table 3

• Table 4

• Table 5

• Table 6

• Table 7

• Table 8

• Table 9

• Table 10

• Table 11

#1

HDLM is compatible with Hyper-Threading technology.

#2

The disk capacity required for installation.

1. Execute the following command to check which kernel architecture is used:

   # uname -m
   x86_64
   #

   The following shows the meaning of the execution result of the uname command:

   i686: IA32 architecture

   x86_64: AMD64/EM64T architecture

2. Execute the following command to check the vendor of the CPU you are using:

   # cat /proc/cpuinfo
   processor       : 0
   vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
   cpu family      : 15
   model           : 37
   model name      : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 252
   stepping        : 1
       :
       :
   #

   Check the vendor_id line. AuthenticAMD is displayed for AMD CPUs, and GenuineIntel is displayed for Intel CPUs.

Note

• Environments where the secure boot function is enabled are not supported. Do not enable the secure boot function after installing HDLM.

• If an IP-SAN is used to connect HDLM with a storage system, HDLM is supported on the following OSs:
