List of Supported Linux Agent Kernels

To ensure the successful installation of the Linux Agent, it is crucial to verify the compatibility of your kernel version with the supported list, as the supported kernel versions for Linux Agent have undergone comprehensive testing and have been officially released. If the kernel version you are using is not included in the supported list, please reach out to our sales manager and pre-sales engineer for assistance.

Support and Conditions

  • Basic Requirements:
    • CPU：x86-64-bit processor (i386 or later)
    • Memory: Each mount point consumes approximately 300MB of cache space; e.g. if there are currently 3 mount points, around 1000MB of memory is required.
    • Disk Space:
      • Software Space: 100MB of free space for the software’s own installation.
      • Cache Space: Each file system must have free space greater than 10%.
    • Network Connection: Minimum of 10 Mbps connection to the target end.
    • System Firmware: BIOS or UEFI
    • Disk Layout: MBR or GPT
    • Virtualization Support: Full virtualization is supported, but support for para-virtualization (e.g., XenServer) is limited. Manual repairs may be required during the final startup.
  • System Booting
    • Supported boot methods for synchronization and startup include grub and grub2.
    • Hosts using LILO booting are not supported for driver repair.
    • If there is a separate /boot partition, it should be explicitly defined in /etc/fstab. Failure to do so during the driver repair process may result in startup failure. If this definition is missing, it is recommended to add it manually (the partition is not mounted in fstab).
    • The first disk inside the host must be the boot disk. Currently, specifying a disaster recovery setting for the startup disk is not supported.
  • Disk and Partition Limitations:
    • When a shared disk is mounted on multiple source-end hosts and is being migrated, the migration is performed on a per-host basis. As a result, the shared disk will be migrated multiple times, resulting in multiple identical disks at the target end. Therefore, it is necessary to manually clean up the excess disks and retain one shared disk to be used by multiple hosts.
    • Multiple path remote disks (FC, IP SAN) are currently not supported.
    • Unmounted partitions and disks (raw disks not mounted to specific directories) are currently not supported.
    • Encrypted LUKS disks/partitions are currently not supported.
    • Network-shared mount directories (e.g., NFS/NAS for remote network data access) are currently not supported. You need to use a separate file-level synchronization tool for data synchronization.
    • When using hosts with iSCSI disks, be cautious not to modify the original Initiator Name to avoid impacting business systems.
    • Btrfs file system is currently not supported.
  • Application Conflict Check
    • There cannot be components in the system that are identical to the Linux Agent.
