Support Not Included with Linux 8 Kernel for Older SAS Controllers (30629407)

The Linux 8 operating system kernel does provide support for older SAS controllers such as SAS1 (3Gb per second) or SAS2 (6Gb per second). This means the Oracle Hardware Management Pack utilities won't work with older SAS controllers on system running Linux 8.

Workaround

For SAS2 controllers, support for Oracle Hardware Management Pack can be obtained by installing the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) supported with Oracle Linux 8.

For information on obtaining Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Kernel for Linux 8, refer to https://www.oracle.com/linux/.
