Minimum required SAP Kernel Patchlevel for SLES 15 (S...

[#1]

Dear community,

for AIX 7.3 I found a nice list of minimum required SAP Kernel patchlevels in SAP note 1780629. Now I'm looking for something similar for SLES 15 (SP6). I already know the PAM information, but that's quite basic. I know the SAP notes 2369910 and 2578899 as well - but they don't give information about SAP Kernel PLs...

Is there any SAP note or the like which could provide such information for SLES 15 (SP6)?

Thanks & regards, Marie

There isn't because SAP doesn't releases KERNEL software for SLES but for LINUX.  SAP supports various LINUX flavors like SLES, RHEL and ORACLE LINUX.

For standard systems (not S/4HANA) there are only 3 KERNEL versions currently maintained by SAP: 7.22, 7.53 and 7.54. It's easy to go through each one release notes and find the information you need. But I would say that for SLES 15 (SP6) the one to go is 7.54 (no brainer...)

I know that SAP releases a kernel for Linux and not especially for SLES - but since SLES versions and patchlevels differ from other Linux distributions, there will certainly be different Kernel patchlevel prerequisites for SLES than for RHEL or ORACLE Linux. In the kernel release notes you see e.g. the minimum required OS level - what I want to find out is the minimum Kernel Patchlevel for a certain OS level.
