LifeKeeper for Linux can be installed and used on the distributions and versions listed on this page.
The following are common considerations and restrictions for all of the operating systems listed here.
- Upgrading from one kernel version to another major version is NOT supported.
- A DataKeeper resource configuration where the resource is created with asynchronous mode and extended with synchronous mode is not supported.
Refer to the following for distribution and version-specific considerations and restrictions.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (all 64 bits)
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux | Notes |
|---|---|
| 10.0 to 10.1 | Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later RHEL 10.1 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode due to a kernel issue. For RHEL 10.1, asynchronous replication with DataKeeper requires kernel-6.12.0-124.55.1.el10_1.x86_64 or later. |
| 9.0 to.9.7 | Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later RHEL 9.0 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode on disks that are thin provisioned RHEL 9.7 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode due to a kernel issue. For RHEL RHEL9.7 , asynchronous replication with DataKeeper requires kernel-5.14.0-611.54.1.el9_7.x86_64 or later. |
| 8.0 to 8.10 | Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later RHEL 8.6 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode on disks that are thin provisioned. |
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) (all 64 bits)
| SUSE Linux Enterprise Server | Notes |
|---|---|
| 16.0 | Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later SUSE live patching is NOT supported. SLES 16.0 is supported with LifeKeeper for Linux v10.0.2 or later. |
| 15.0 SP6 to SP7 | For SLES 15 SP6, asynchronous replication with DataKeeper requires the 5.14.21-150500.55.88.1 or later kernel package to avoid a possible data corruption when updating the kernel package. For SLES 15 SP7, asynchronous replication with DataKeeper requires 6.4.0-150700.53.25.1.x86_64 or later. Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later SUSE live patching is NOT supported. |
Oracle Linux (all 64 bits)

| 9.0 to 9.7 （including UEK R7 and R8） | Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later Oracle Linux 9.0 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode on disks that are thin provisioned Oracle Linux 9.7 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode due to a kernel issue. |
| 8.0 to 8.10(including UEK R6 and R7) | Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later Oracle Linux 8.6 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode on thin-provisioned disks due to a kernel issue. The minimum supported UEK kernel version is 5.4.17-2102.202.5. |
Rocky Linux (all 64 bits)
| Rocky Linux | Notes |
|---|---|
| 10.0 to 10.1 | LifeKeeper does not currently support Rocky Linux 10.0 on Oracle Cloud. We will evaluate support once the official platform image is released. Rocky Linux 10.1 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode due to a kernel issue. |
| 9.6 to 9.7 | Rocky Linux 9.7 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode due to a kernel issue. |
| 8.10 | – |
Miracle Linux (all 64 bits)
| Miracle Linux | Notes |
|---|---|
| 9.0, 9.2, 9.4, 9.6 | Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later Miracle Linux 9.0 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode on thin-provisioned disks due to a kernel issue. |
| 8.4, 8.6, 8.8, 8.10 | Miracle Linux 8.6 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode on thin-provisioned disks due to a kernel issue. |
AlmaLinux (all 64 bits)
| AlmaLinux | Notes |
|---|---|
| 10.0 to 10.1 | Partitions with an odd number of sectors are not supported when running kernel 4.12 or later AlmaLinux 10.1 does not support DataKeeper asynchronous mode due to a kernel issue. |
