    Hi,

    1) Anyone knowing if RHEL9 LE is supported on Power8 (PowerVM) HW ? Or only on Power9 and Power10?

    2)  Where could I find HW Suppor Matrix for RHEL9 Power HW support?

    Thanks,
    Br,

    Hi Tommi:
    Thanks for all the interactions in the Communities...   I think Power9 and 10 only from a formal Support POV.

    https://catalog.redhat.com/hardware/search?certified_products=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux&type=Server
    Filter it down and I think you will see only power9 and 10.

    Same here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-systems?topic=lpo-linux-distributions-virtualization-options-power8-power9-linux-power-systems#liaamdistros__supportedpower8

    Hello,

    In some cases not supported means - it was not tested - and if you have issue you have to recreated on a supported RedHat before to open a support case.
