IBM support statement will be documented here if changed.
currently only 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 are supported
Have fun and keep waiting.. like us 🙂
I’ve been trying to install PowerVC 1.2.3 on my RHEL 7.1 LPAR (yes Big Endian / PowerVM). According to IBM, you just need to untar the SW and launch
./install -s standard
and…
at least in my case, that wasn’t going be so easy 😉 Red Hat, made some changes to some packages and its dependencies. So here you are the steps you need to success. However, you may have better luck than me, so if it works.. congratulations!
“else” keep reading! I’ll try show you a quick way to work around the installation problems i had to deal with.
