To start, I would always contact your Unisys representative and check on the certification and other support status of Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. Secondly, RHEV3 is based on RHEL6 (unless, of course, you are considering older RHEV2.2 based on RHEL5). You can install the RHEV-H (Hypervisor) as a standalone, or subscribe the RHEL6 channel for RHEV-H and install it on top of RHEL6. Your system needs to be subscribed to the head RHEL6 channel, which would be 6.3 today. Third, RHEL5.4 does not receive updates today, and for those with the Extended Update Support (EUS) entitlement, EUS 5.4.z updates ended a year ago (2011 Jul 31 [1]). Your fully supported options today, including all important security and related errata, for RHEL5 are either EUS 5.6.z or head RHEL5 (currently 5.8 [2]). Consult with your Unisys representative if there are options they provide for other RHEL5 releases. > How about the nic - did you u bonded/aggregated those? There are several bonding options for NICs. Your networking equipment may provide options or limitations beyond the Unisys unit itself. Please consult with your networking team and reference the RHEL5 Deployment guide for its available modes.
