For a new machine, which RHEL?

kenc184

When I purchased my desktop machine 3 years ago, it came preloaded with RHEL8. Unfortunately, that OS was not supported (virtuoso, spectre etc) so I had to downgrade to RHEL7.

Now, my machine seems to be getting quite dodgy so a new machine should be on the horizon.  I have been limited to IC6.18, presumably I can now move to the 20-something releases? Which would be the appropriate RHEL release to select?

  • Hi,

    The latest IC platform releases are IC23.1 ISR15 and IC 25.1 with both RHEL8 and RHEL9 supported. This information is also available on the download page when you select the release name.

    If you want to be able to run IC6.1.8/ICADVM20.1 then the best fit is RHEL8 (a recent sub-version) and then use ISR24 or later of these streams. It is possible to run these using RHEL9 (I am using RHEL9 myself as my standard configuration) but it needed going a little off-piste to get IC6.1.8 running. For example, I installed:

    dnf install lsb_release
    cd /usr/lib64; ln -s libdl.so.2 libdl.so

    then installed these three rpms:

    • compat-db47-4.7.25-28.el7.x86_64.rpm
    • compat-db-headers-4.7.25-28.el7.noarch.rpm
    • compat-openssl10-1.0.2o-11.fc33.x86_64.rpm

    Of course, this is no guarantee of success and no indication of support; just a practical thing I did in order to get things running. Better is to use RHEL8.x if you want IC6.1.8 support. 

    If you are using IC23.1 or later, then using RHEL9 should be pretty OK out of the box.

  • Thank you both, that's what I needed to know.
