Sorry, one more thing: while you can often upgrade from say 3.10.0-1160.92.1 to 3.10.0-1160.95.1, like the kind of upgrade you\u2019d see within an RHEL point release \u2014 and you\u2019ll often see an older version get updated to list support for those kinds of version
increments \u2014 you should definitely expect to potentially need to upgrade GPFS if you\u2019re going between RHEL point releases, like 8.7 to 8.8 \u2014 those ones that change from, say, 4.18.0-425.x to 4.18.0-477.x.

<div>Sometimes unsupported versions will work, but often times they will not, and if you have a support contract, that difference is sort of meaningless since you wouldn\u2019t want to run an unsupported version anyway.<br>

Not supported on that GPFS version; probably need a 5.1.8.x \u2014 definitely supported on 5.1.8.1.

<p>If anyone managed to build that, a message would be nice, else you should expect problems.

<p>I opened a case with IBM but it is caught in the call entry ... (SF TS013920636, in case any supporter wants to look after it).
