Deployment of Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Itanium™ Processor on ProLiant DL590/64 Servers 5 Device Support for Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Itanium Processor Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Itanium Processor is a 64-bit operating system with a true 64-bit kernel. Any code that executes in kernel mode, such as drivers, must be developed specifically to interface correctly with the 64-bit kernel. Therefore, drivers that were developed for any 32-bit versions of Red Hat Linux will not function properly under Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Itanium Processor. Supported Storage Options IMPORTANT: Providing support for storage options on the ProLiant DL590/64 requires drivers that have been ported to the 64-bit architecture. The 32-bit drivers used on other Compaq server platforms will not load or function properly on ProLiant DL590/64 servers. As a result, only the storage options displayed in Table 2 are supported for use in ProLiant DL590/64 servers. Attempting to install unsupported storage options and drivers into the ProLiant DL590/64 may render the system unusable.

Device Support for Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Itanium
Processor
Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Itanium Processor is a 64-bit operating system with a true 64-bit kernel.
Any code that executes in kernel mode, such as drivers, must be developed specifically to
interface correctly with the 64-bit kernel. Therefore, drivers that were developed for any 32-bit
versions of Red Hat Linux will not function properly under Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Itanium
Processor.
Supported Storage Options
IMPORTANT:
Providing support for storage options on the ProLiant DL590/64 requires
drivers that have been ported to the 64-bit architecture. The 32-bit drivers used on other Compaq
server platforms will not load or function properly on ProLiant DL590/64 servers. As a result,
only the storage options displayed in Table 2 are supported for use in ProLiant DL590/64 servers.
Attempting to install unsupported storage options and drivers into the ProLiant DL590/64 may
render the system unusable.
Table 2 lists supported Compaq storage options and drivers needed to interface with Red Hat
Linux 7.2 for Itanium Processor.
