For information on how to contact the SAP LinuxLab, see http://www.sap.com/linux.

All supported HP SGeSAP/LX setups were tested with drivers that are supported by HP Serviceguard

for Linux and at the same time are part of an SAP certified Linux distribution. For these setups, it

is not required to install any driver in addition to those that come with the Linux distribution. Logical

Volume Management (LVM), network bonding and multipathing are supported via the software

that comes with the Linux distribution.

Virtualization software version compatibility

Virtualization is supported for various combinations of physical machines and VMWare Virtual

Machines. Guest OS can be SLES or RHEL. This feature supports RDM configurations. Virtualization

is supported for various combinations of physical machines with virtualized guest machines (VMs)

built on the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor provided with Red Hat Enterprise Linux

6. This feature is supported only with iSCSI storage device.

NOTE: Serviceguard is certified on VMs, not on the hosts that run the hypervisor technology. It

provides high availability for applications inside of virtual machines and not for the virtual machines

themselves.

For more information about using Serviceguard with Virtual Machines, see Using HP Serviceguard

for Linux with VMware virtual machines.

The following table lists which SAP kernel releases are supported with the modular-based packages

provided by this version of HP SGeSAP/LX. New SGeSAP/LX 6 legacy packages must not be

to work for the SAP releases specified in the HP SGeSAP/LX A.03.00 release notes documentation
