I'm trying to post in "Rapid Storage Tecnology", and keep getting responses of "You can't add new topics, so select existing topics for your post".
I've tried six times now and it keeps failing, but I was able to post this question here :-(

My question is:
Does the ESRT2 (megasr) kernel driver version 18.02.2019.0304 support RHEL 7.7 and implicitly CentOS 7.7?
And what ESRT2 megasr kernel driver version supports RHEL 8 and CentOS 8?
Thanks ...

To confirm and provide you the most accurate response, can you please provide me with the model of Intel product you have? I believe you have a server correct? If so, please provide me with the model.

Hello patman,
Currently, the ESRT2 (megasr) kernel driver version 18.02.2019.0304 does not support for RHEL 7.7, 7.7 or RHEL 8 and CentOS 8.
You can confirm this information here:
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27132/eng/ESRT2_Linux_DRV_v18.01.2017.0105_Readme.txt
It currently only supports Red Hat Linux* and SUSE Linux* only.

We're trying to move to 7.7 now.
When will you have a megasr driver that supports RHEL 7.7?
And when will you have one for RHEL 8?
Thanks ...

Hello patman,
RHEL 8 validation is not completed yet, but this should happen in 2020. Our recommendation in the meantime is to use a tested distribution version.
RHEL does have compatibility and stress testing; however, CentOS does not as it is basic installation only.
