This release provides the updates in automation needed to support it properly on RHEL 8 (it was tested on the latest RedHat Enterprise Linux 8.4).

  • Oracle 19c installation now works on RHEL8
  • OpenLDAP build added that works on RHEL8 as well
  • Docker, containerd.io and Kubernetes install updated to work with RHEL8.
  • Updated dependencies for WASND and Connections to support RHEL8.

Other fixes and improvements:

  • WASND upgraded to 8.5.5.19. The default WAS ND version from this release on is 8.5.5.19.
  • SOAP timeout fixed on multiple places.
  • TDI JDK upgrade fixed (would be needed with Connections 8).
  • Default Haproxy version bumped to latest and greatest.
  • Default Helm version bumped to latest and greatest.
  • Default Kubernetes version bumped to 1.19.11

Known issues

  • IBM IHS is having some issues with mod_ibm_ssl.so on all versions of RHEL8 we tested it with (from 8.0 to 8.4). We suggest to, in this case, either contact IBM support, or use RHEL7 for IHS only (supported by automation as well).
  • HCL Connections Docs wasn't tested because the step creating jobs on WAS is failing internally on WAS on RHEL8.
