Notes:
- The support statements refers to hardware control, operating system (os) provisioning, and general purpose system management where we do not see any obvious problems with the indicated combination.
- For diskless mixed cluster support, the initial diskless image must be created on a node running the target operating system version and architecture. see Building_a_Stateless_Image_of_a_Different_Architecture_or_OS for more details.
Footnotes
[1] | (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) To manage x86_64 servers from ppc64/ppc64le nodes, will need to install the packages xnba-undi elilo-xcat and syslinux-xcat manually on the management node. And manually run command “cp /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/” |
[2] | (1, 2) If the compute nodes are DFM managed systems, will need xCAT 2.9.1 or high versions and the ppc64le DFM and ppc64le hardware server on the management node. |
[3] | (1, 2) If the compute nodes are DFM managed systems, will need xCAT 2.10 or high versions and the ppc64le DFM and ppc64le hardware server on the management node. |
[4] | (1, 2, 3, 4) If the compute nodes are DFM managed systems, will need the ppc64le DFM and ppc64le hardware server on the management node. |
[5] | (1, 2) Does not support DFM managed compute nodes, hardware control does not work. |
