Attu — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 15:34:58 GMT

Hi Support Team,

We are planning to setup cloudera on one of our cloud environment.We have RHEL 7.7 installed on our servers.

Does currently Cloudera support RHEL 7.7 version ???

or any possibility in near future to support latest RHEL version.

i also want to know what happened if we deploy current cloudera versions on RHEL 7.7.

Thanks,

@Attu ,

Based on the official Cloudera documentation:
https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/6/release-notes/topics/rg_os_requirements.html#cdh_cm_supported_os

It looks like the latest RHEL version supported by Cloudera Enterprise 6.3.x is 7.6.

I can open a feature request to ask for supporting RHEL7.7.

It is recommended that you use the supported OS versions as that is fully tested by QA. Use the unsupported version may increase the chances of unexpected cluster issues.

Thanks and hope this helps,

Sure, here is the internal jira #OPSAPS-52437 for your reference in case in the future you need to check the status.

The jira ticket is internally only to Clouderans. However, you can reply to this thread and ask for an update or you can just raise a different thread in the future and reference the jira #.

I just checked the ticket and the last update was the jira was brought to the program and release manager's attention.

Thanks and hope this helps,
