  • 1.  14.10 on Centos 8

    Posted 05/06/21 09:00 AM

    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

    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.
