When I click the link you posted I see RHEL 6.5 listed not 6.2

It is written 6.5-6.x

So you will have to ask Red Hat what they are specifying, but I read it as the .x meaning 6.5 and later

6.5 - 6.6 - 6.7 - 6.8 -->

if it was written as 6.x - 6.5  I would read it as 6.5 and earlier

Hello Jimmy,

It seems you are right on that info. Could you please help me with the HP server compatible with RHEL 6.2 ?  since my client has RHEL6.2 + oracle application so need to suggest him compatible HP server.

If they must stick with v6.2 the only choice would be to run it as a virtual machine.  RHEL EUS support for v6.2 ended in 2014
