[CentOS-devel] CentOS ppc64le hypervisor support

Tue Jan 12 14:11:09 UTC 2016

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)?
