<p>thanks, ryan. <br>
</p>
<p>I would have loved to stay with RHEL 8.7, however RHEL chose to
not patch the RHEL8.7 Kernel line it seems ...</p>

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.
