Hardware Platforms

  • Hewlett Packard Enterprise

    • HPE ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Server

    • HPE ProLiant DL360p Gen9 Server

    • HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Server

    • HPE ProLiant DL380p Gen8 Server

    • HPE ProLiant DL380p Gen9 Server

    • HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 Server

    • c7000 Enclosure with HPE ProLiant BL460 Gen9 Server

      Caution

      LAG support is dependent on the switch cards deployed with the c7000 enclosure. To determine whether LAG can be configured, consult the switch card documentation.

    • HPE ProLiant e910t Server Blade

    • HPE ProLiant DL110 Gen10 Plus

    • HPE ProLiant e920t Server

  • Dell

    • Dell PowerEdge R430

    • Dell PowerEdge R630

    • Dell PowerEdge R640

    • Dell PowerEdge R720

    • Dell PowerEdge R730

    • Dell PowerEdge R740

    • Dell PowerEdge XR11

  • Kontron Symkloud MS2920

    Note

    The Kontron platform does not support power ON/OFF or reset through the BMC interface on StarlingX. As a result, it is not possible for the system to properly fence a node in the event of a management network isolation event. In order to mitigate this, hosted application auto recovery needs to be disabled.
