I have some old hardware I would like to migrate to rocky linux. (2 dl360 and 2 DL380 gen9). Unfortunately HPE is only providing their tooling (Agent monitoring service for example) for redhat 8 for this generation. I hesitate to ignore it and just go for latest 9.0 but maybe I don’t have to ? - Is there any difference in term of usage between rocky linux version 8 & 9 to use LXD? - Either way do you know if hp-ams compiled for rocky linux 8 or redhat 8 can work on rocky linux 9 ? How to force the installation of a legacy package? ---

to refine my question. I The real issue I have with rocky linux 9 with an HPE proliant gen 9 is that the serverless agent package is not available in HPE redhat 9 repo. Only for version 8: gen9: [https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/spp/rhel/8.5/x86\_64/current/hp-ams-2.9.1-842.8.rhel8.x86\_64.rpm](https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/spp/rhel/8.5/x86_64/current/hp-ams-2.9.1-842.8.rhel8.x86_64.rpm) on gen10 I only have the amsd package which is not compatible with ILO 4. Is there a way to still install an RPM compiled for redhat 8 on gen9 ? The RPM may be compiled statically like on debian where I can force the package installation. ---

That depends on the dependencies (of package and binary). As example, the Zoom package for “RHEL 7.0+” installs and runs on el9. ---
