Table 2-31 provides a list of minimum levels that are required for AIX.

Table 2-31 Supported AIX levels on the E850C

2.14.3 Linux operating systems

Linux is an open source operating system that runs on numerous platforms from embedded
systems to mainframe computers. It provides an implementation like UNIX across many
computer architectures.

The supported versions of Linux on Power E850C are shown in Table 2-32.

Table 2-32 Supported Linux versions on the E850C

If you want to configure Linux partitions in virtualized Power Systems, be aware of the
following conditions:

򐂰

Not all devices and features that are supported by the AIX operating system are supported
in logical partitions that run the Linux operating system.

򐂰

Linux operating system licenses are ordered separately from the hardware. You can
acquire Linux operating system licenses from IBM to be included with the POWER8
processor-based servers, or from other Linux distributors.

For information about features and external devices that are supported by Linux, see this site:

http://www.ibm.com/systems/p/os/linux/index.html
