Is there a list of "supported" methods for deployment of CentOS 7.2 on Power8? I know folks with VMs behind VIO servers with PowerVM. I understand VMs under PowerKVM with OPAL are also supported. Any ideas on bare metal CentOS under OPAL, Power8 with either latest firmware levels (FW840 or OP810)?
The correct answer is that if it’s supported in RHEL 7.2 ppc64le, then it’s supported by CentOS 7 1511 ppc64le.
technically, nothing is 'supported' on CentOS. I wonder if we can find a better word to communicate that.
I knew I was going to regret using ‘supported’ as soon as I clicked send :)
So let me revise:
The correct answer is that if it’s supported in RHEL 7.2 ppc64le, then it should work in CentOS 7 1511 ppc64le. And if CentOS 7 1511 ppc64le doesn’t work, then offer to step in and help fix it :)
btw, the most popular download for CentOS Linux is the minimal install iso - you should consider doing one for ppc* as well.
