Proliant BL20P G4 Server - RHEL 6 Support
Hi,
I am using HP Proliant BL20P G4 Server & i installed RHEL 6 . As per HP Hardware support matrix RHEL 6 won't support BL20P G4 server, Only support RHEL 5 & below.
My Query is, What would be the Risk factor if i am using RHEL6 on this hardware .
We are using Lotus application on this server & its running full availability, Last 15 days we are monitoring this server , we won't face any such issues.
Thanks in Advance,

Usually, drivers are not available for unsupported versions. This may lead to situations where the hardware would function sub-optimally.

It is not an HP supproted configuration. That being said, Since it appars to be working OK, this one may fall under the "Unsupported, known to work" catagory
Supported, known to work -> warm fuzzies all around
Supported, not known to not work -> an HPite may be in trouble
Supported, known to not work -> an HPite is in trouble
Unsupported, known to work -> lucky today, unlucky tomorrow?
Unsupported, not known to not work -> there but for the grace of Turing
Unsupported, known to not work -> no, it was not deliberate ;-)
