So far the PowerVC Manager component is only running on a Redhat Linux partition on Power Systems. The client components are supporting other Linux distributions and AIX.

    This is planned for PowerVC 2.0 major release coming in Dec 2020.
    Note: No x86 SLES support planned.

    We have made a strategic decision to support 2 configurations for the PowerVC server component that is typically only requiring one Redhat linux license in an enterprise. Either running on Red Hat Linux on x86 or Red Hat Linux on Power. We have done this to keep our test matrix very small to allow providing greater functionality in PowerVC. I understand the request for supporting SuSE linux for the server component.

    Remember you can still manage and deploy SuSE Linux instances and SAP Hana instances with the current support. We only require a single Red Hat VM and license for the PowerVC server component.

    This may be considered in the future.
