--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0 Overview
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OS Versions supported
o SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4
o SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5
Supported configurations can be found on the Lenovo Operating System
Interoperability Guide at the following website:
https://lenovopress.com/osig
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 Prerequisites and dependencies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Certain features/function are co-dependent with either Brocade Switch
firmware and/or Storage Target device firmware. Consult your Lenovo
Technical Sales team for details on such features. Examples: NVMe over
Fibre Channel, Trunking (aka Port Aggregation)
- For customers who may have end-of-life HBAs in a configuration alongside
more contemporary HBAs, the OOB driver for the newer HBA can be used with
the legacy HBA. Such support ends concurrent with the end of support for
the legacy HBA.
