Hello! Wondering if anyone else had to downgrade RHEL on a new workstation to support both IC 5141 and IC 61? What were the experiences with this?
Seems quite a few foundries are still in IC 5141, listed in the supported platform matrix as requiring RHEL 4 / EOLd. New workstations are coming with RHEL 6 installed by default which isn't supported yet even for IC 61. So, to choose RHEL 5 even though Cadence doesn't officially support IC 5141 on it, or go down to RHEL 4 and be unsupported by RHN if there are issues in the downgrade such as missing drivers or libraries.
Any success stories or issues with taking either path would be appreciated. This is a Xeon X5687 with 24GB RAM, and there is plenty of disk space.
Cheers
