NOTE: Only CentOS, RHEL, or Oracle Linux1 versions using the following kernels are supported:

  • Linux version 7.x
    • 3.10.0-514
    • 3.10.0-693
    • 3.10.0-862

IMPORTANT: The above operating systems should be installed in Minimal or Server mode (without GUI components). Using the Linux GUI will result in poor QoreStor performance.

1 When installed as a minimal installation, CentOS is missing two required packages: bc, and bzip2. Install these packages before installing.

2 With Oracle Linux, the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) must be used. The Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is not supported.
