Maybe we need to stage using SP3 instead of SP2 somewhere before using it everywhere?</p> <p>Need to make decisions about sticking to the policy of supporting only one version of any distro. It's possible to have base and ldiskfs patches for both SP2 and SP3, but it would be easier to drop support for SP2 and support only SP3.</p> LU-3567

kernel update [SLES11 SP3]

Story Critical Resolved Fixed Bob Glossman Bob Glossman Mon, 8 Jul 2013 18:03:30 +0000 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 16:23:34 +0000 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:44:33 +0000 Lustre 2.5.0 0 7 <p>Since no Lustre maintenance branches support SLES11SP2 which requires a new installation anyways it would be IMO best to move to SLES11 SP3. </p> <p>That would be acceptable if SLES 11 SP2 won't be supported at all with 2.5. However, I would suggest that 2.5 would support both SP2 &amp; SP3. But it is more problematic since b2_5 might have long legs due to being dubbed the next maintenance branch. Maybe it would be acceptable to drop SP2 support in a later 2.5 release after everyone has been given an appropriate amount of time to upgrade to SP3? Did we already take up client OS support with the CDWG? Even if so, perhaps we should take another look at it. It should be possible to support both side by side.</p> <p><a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/7580" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/7580</a></p> <p>Just in case it's not obvious from looking at the submitted patches, we chose to continue supporting building for SP2 as well as building for SP3.</p> <p>Landed for 2.5.0</p> <p>Bob, yup!
