2. OFED Level
ESS 3.0 is shipped with OFED level
MLNX_OFED_LINUX-2.4-1.0.2 (OFED-2.4-1.0.2)
It is installed and upgraded as part of the GPFS Native RAID for
ESS solution. It is highly recommended not to install or update
OFED outside the GPFS Native RAID for ESS solution.
3. ESS IO Server Node System Firmware and IBM PCIe3 x8 Cache SAS RAID
Internal Adapter Firmware
IBM Power System S822L (8247-22L) is used as the IO Server Node and
IBM Power System S821L (8247-21L) is used as Executive Management
Server (EMS) node. The system firmware and RAID Internal Adapter
Firmware is not expected to be upgraded in the field under normal
operation. Following are the level of the system firmware and RAID
internal adapter firmware.
Item Firmware
IBM Power System S822L ESS ver 2.5.x - FW810.20 (SV810_898)
ESS ver 3.0.x - FW810.30 (SV810_124)
IBM Power System S821L ESS ver 2.5.x - FW810.20 (SV810_898)
ESS ver 3.0.x - FW810.30 (SV810_124)
IBM PCIe x8 Cache SAS ESS ver 2.5.x . 12511400
RAID Internal Adapter ESS ver 3.0.x - 12511700
4. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Level and update considerations
ESS 3.0 supports Red Hat Entriprise Linux 7.1
kernel release: 3.10.0-229.el7.ppc64
User can update the RHEL as needed to address security updates.
It is highly recommended to limit errata updates applied to the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux operating system used in the ESS solution to
security errata or errata updates requested by service. For more
information visit Red Hat's solution article on applying only
security updates: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/10021"
