Notes:

  • The support statements refers to hardware control, operating system (os) provisioning, and general purpose system management where we do not see any obvious problems with the indicated combination.

  • For xCAT < 2.17 diskless mixed cluster support, the initial diskless image must be created on a node running the target operating system version and architecture. On xCAT >= 2.17 with x86 based management nodes QEMU emulation can be used for different architectures (eg. ppc64 or aarch64) if qemu-user-static is installed and configured via systemd-binfmt. See Building Stateless/Diskless Images for more details.
