Powerpath upgrade for SLES10SP2 / RHEL5.2

Question

Hi,

is there already a release date for a PowerPath version supporting the above mentioned Linuxes?
We're quite depending on these updates and hacking around to make the old kernels and powerpath modules work with the new distro versions is not the best way to keep systems running

Regards,
Thorsten

PP5.3 is expected in Q4 this year according to the last update that we received.null

PowerPath 5.1 SP 2 for Linux supports the following OS versions: SLES 10 SP2, SLES 9 SP4 and RHEL 5 U2.Back when the original question was asked (in June) this release (5.1 SP2) was not scheduled.

i would say V.5 does not clearly indicate V.5.1 or V.5.2..
