It’s not supported on SLES11 either.
IBM didn’t (that I saw) talk much about this publicly or give customers a
chance to provide feedback about the decision. I know it was raised at the
UG in NY and I recall a number of people saying it would be a significant
issue for them (myself included) as is the fact they no longer support
Debian with scale 5.0.
I’d raised the issue on the mailing list after the UG trying to start the
discussion but IBM said they weren’t ready to talk about it publicly and I
can only guess they had already set their sights and didn’t actually want
feedback. This is actually pretty frustrating. I’m tempted to open an RFE
but most of my RFEs either have been rejected or just sit idle so I’m not
clear there’s a benefit.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the note on 5.0.0
One correction however.... clusters can do a rolling upgrade to 5.0.0 from
any 4.2.x level (not just 4.2.3).

The Scale 5.0 fix level is now up on Fix Central.
You need to be at Scale 4.2.3 (cluster level) to do a rolling upgrade to
this level.

Yes the integrated protocols are the Samba and Ganesha that are bundled
with Spectrum Scale. These require the use of the CES component for
monitoring the protocols. If you do use them then you need to wait for a
release of Spectrum Scale in which the integrated protocols are also
supported on RHEL 7.4.

Sent by: gpfsug-discuss-bounces at spectrumscale.org
Currently, the IBM support matrix says:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY/gpfsclustersfaq.html#linux
that 4.2.3.5 is supported on RHEL 7.4, but with a footnote:
"AFM, Integrated Protocols, and Installation Toolkit are not supported on
RHEL 7.4."
We don't use AFM or the install toolkit. But we *do* make fairly heavy
use
of mmces and nfs-ganesha - is that what they mean by "Integrated
Protocols"?
(We're looking at doing upgrades next month while our HPC clusters are
doing
their upgrades - and going to 7.4 would be nice. If there's a mine field
there, I need to
make sure we stay at 7.3 - plus applicable non-7.4 updates)

Grr, this might explain why I experienced unhappiness when I tried to
start
my long-delayed AFM based migration over the weekend. I had previously
tested AFM and found everything working, but 7.4 may have slipped in last
month. The AFM relationship seems to work but `mmafmctl premigrate`
commands fail. I would revert packages if I could figure out where the
issue lies.
