Miscellaneous Linux Information

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 / 7 Family Notes

Oracle Notes

Oracle Linux Server 8.x uses the Linux 4.x kernel in standard mode, and the Linux 5.x kernel in Unbreakable Kernel mode. You must install the Linux 4.x kernel distribution of BackupEDGE (edgelx40_64) for use with this operating system.

Oracle Linux Server comes with 2 kernels; the Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel and the Oracle Unbreakable Kernel, When making RecoverEDGE media you must be booted from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel. During all other operations either kernel can be used.

ALL VERSIONS

Encrypted System Drives / Partitions

Encrypted operating system drives / filesystems are not supported by RecoverEDGE.

MD RAID Support

RecoverEDGE supports MD RAID with the following caveats:

  • We do not support spare devices.
  • The MD structure may only contain a file system. No logical volumes or partitioning of the MD devices are permitted.
  • BackupEDGE release 03.04.01 build 1 is now the minimum required release for those using MD RAID.
