Hi,
I'm running my first servers using RockyLinux 8.5 -- it works well,
LinTapes 3.0.59 also without any problems using kernel
"4.18.0-348.12.2.el8_5.x86_64".
Some packages differ from RHEL8.4 so I could not just copy the list of
installed packages.
As far as I remember, you'll need to use the >>-vmargs
"-DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true"<< option during install as RockyLinux is
not officially supported ;-)
best

Hello Zoltan,
thanks for the answer...
Yes for sure lin_tape drivers is has to be installed on supported
kernel, I had a long experience installing them when I worked for IBM,
also tried to recompile some free versions.
I didn't ear about this distribution but I'll test it... many thanks
I'm personally unlucky with the Ubuntu is so different from Redhat
fork and have no time yet to learn about it (home in the future).
Have a Nice Day.
Grazie
Maurizio

Once we heard CentOS was being retired, we started migrating to Rocky
Linux
(https://rockylinux.org/) for all Linux servers whose
applications/vendors
would support it. We have not tried moving the ISP servers to Rocky
Linux
since our management will not run enterprise applications on an
unsupported
OS. There is also the question of kernel level support for things like
lin_tape drivers.
Rocky Linux is an open-source enterprise operating system designed to be
100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux®. It is under
intensive development by the community.

Hello Maurizio !
Our shop is very happy with the migration from AIX to RHEL 8.5 (on
bare-metal x86 servers) for our TSM 8.1.12 ...
Costs a bit of money, but quite a bit less than TSM !
Coming from AIX, I expected Red Hat to be lesser value with regards to
"how-to" support. Amazingly enough they are quite good at anything
we're
throwing at them... They even assisted on a ReAR issue (which is a
great
tool for restoring Linux systems from TSM)...
We already have an installed base of >400 RHEL servers so the curve is
nonexisting. Using on-premises Red Hat Satellite for subscription and
patch management.
