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)?

You can get started in three easy steps (example of MySQL 5.6): $ sudo yum install centos-release-scl $ sudo yum install rh-mysql56 $ scl enable rh-mysql56 bash
should centos-release-scl not have at least a "Obsoletes:

I've used the tool with '--force' parameter and it upgraded just fine.

I'm having some side effects like: "grep: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I had a similar issue with grep when I upgraded my CentOS 6 home server to CentOS 7 last week. As explained elsewhere, the issue is that not all .el6 packages get upgraded.
I have upgraded a couple of C6 machines last weeks, it works much better with 7.2 now, at least the system boots and ssh works :)
The grep issue can be fixed after upgrade very simply:
$ yum downgrade grep

First off I *do not* support the use of the upgrade tool under any circumstances, just in case I haven't made my position clear in the past. That said, you'll probably do a more thorough job of fixing all the mistakes made by the upgrade too if you follow it up with:
yum distro-sync
This should fix grep and any other package that is still left on the el6 version.

honza can shed a bit more light on this, but it was discussed before the first SCL release - and it appeared to not be needed, as new users would just migrate over.

The correct answer is that if it’s supported in RHEL 7.2 ppc64le, then it’s supported by CentOS 7 1511 ppc64le.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 (little endian) is currently supported on PowerVM and PowerHV (bare metal) [1]

technically, nothing is 'supported' on CentOS. I wonder if we can find a better word to communicate that.

I would look for a word in "not English" because most of the English words end up having specific legal definitions which end up tripping up. I was thinking "implemented" because that is about all that CentOS is going to say it does. "We have a method that is implemented that will use ABC. We do not support this method."

how about just 'works'. Does <feature> work on CentOS Linux ? Yes/No/Maybe

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.

+1
Just had to resize the VMLibrary because CentOS-7-AltArch-ppc64- Everything-1511.iso is way bigger than Rhel ISO (which was deleted before). The minimal ISO would be awsome :)
