How to use the OSIGThere are three ways you can find OS support information Use the dropdown menus to select the servers and operating systems youre looking for.

Servers These are the individual servers. When a server supports multiple generations of processors, it is split out so that you can select one particular combination of server and processor familly tip to search on the processor family, use the Search fieldOS Families These are the high level operating system names such as Microsoft Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. OS Versions These are the top level versions of each OS, such as Windows Server 2. RHEL 7 tip if you want to search for a specific version of an operation system, use search if the version number includes a period, enclose the version number in quotes, for example, rhel 7. RHEL 7. 2. Form Factors The choices here are a combination of the physical shapes our servers come in as well as the number of processor sockets in the server useful if you are not familiar with our product families and server names. For example Rack 1. S means a rack server with 1 processor socket. Choices are. Blade 1. S servers in a blade form factor and are installed in a chassis with common power, cooling, and networking with 1 processor socket. Blade 2.

You can use the search field either as the primary search mechanism or use it in conjunction with the dropdown menus to further filter down results. The search field searches all text in the database for matches. For example you might use the search field by itself to search for specific entries. Results shown include all words in the search logical AND. An example using search in conjunction with the dropdown menus is if you are displaying all VMware ESXi 6. Update 1 U1 entries. The menus and search field are as follows For complex searches, the follow syntax is supported To use compound search terms, use logical operators OR and AND. The operators are not case sensitive. For example, the following returns results that contain either Windows Server 2. Windows Server 2. To add additional search terms along with the ANDOR logical operators, use parenthesis. For example, the following returns results that include the words x. M5 as well as either 2. Another example is the following search which shows Windows Server 2. R2 support of both the x.
