Issue:

This system was certified with an earlier version of RHEL 6. A hardware component available in this system was certified with RHEL6.8 and requires that release at a minimum in order to remain supported:

Environment

• Mellanox ConnectX-4 Single Port VPI EDR QSFP+ Adapter
• Mellanox ConnectX-4 Single Port VPI EDR QSFP+ Adapter-LP

Resolution

The version of RHEL that was originally certified on this system is an earlier release than what the components were certified with. In order to remain supported, any systems that are purchased with these components require RHEL6.8 to remain supported.

Please review the specifications for the system at time of purchase. If the specifications include the hardware listed in the "Environment" section of this article, then the minimum supported version is RHEL6.8.

• Please consult all other notes linked to this system certification. Other restrictions regarding minimum supported Operating System may apply. This note pertains only to the minimum required version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux needed to support the listed component.
