Policies

Supported architectures and platforms for RHEL High Availability members: Red Hat offers specific policies covering various individual architectures, platforms, and virtualization products in its collection of support policies. Those policy guides cover the conditions and limitations around Red Hat's support of those specific environments. Any architecture or platform that is not listed in Red Hat's overall set of policies are not supported by Red Hat.

Mixing of server architectures within a cluster: Red Hat does not provide support for clusters consisting of members operating on a mix of different architectures, such as a cluster with an x86_64 node and an x86 node.

Server/hardware models: Unless stated in other policy guides, Red Hat generally applies the RHEL support policy around hardware support to the RHEL High Availability Add-On.
