Chapter 4. RHV for IBM Power
This release supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 hosts on IBM POWER8 little endian hardware and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8 virtual machines on emulated IBM POWER8 hardware. From Red Hat Virtualization 4.2.6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts are supported on IBM POWER9 little endian hardware and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 virtual machines on emulated IBM POWER9 hardware.
Previous releases of RHV for IBM Power required Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts on POWER8 hardware to be installed from an ISO image. These hosts cannot be updated for use with this release. You must reinstall Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 hosts using the repositories outlined below.
The packages provided in the following repositories are required to install and configure aspects of a Red Hat Virtualization environment on POWER8 hardware.
