I wander is it on an Xeon 6C X5670 95W 2.93GHz/1333MHz/12MB based Blade possible to install an linux/oracle ECC server.

Or is Xeon only for windows?

Thank you in advance

Hello Jan,

All supported platforms for IBM hardware can be found at the location and this points to SAP note 171380.

You can contact IBM for older Blade / xSeries/ Netfinity models not listed under the above URL as mentioned to confirm if supported for your planned OS install.

Information about supported combinations and install procedure can be found at the following sources:

-> Supported Linux kernels & Supported Linux distributions.

SAP note 407314 - Released operating systems SAP R/3 kernel 6.x ORACLE, this assumes you will be installing with Linux.

SAP note 171356 - SAP software on Linux: Essential information

SAP note 722273 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3/4: Installation and upgrade

I hope this information helps.

All the best,

Cristiano
