Advantages to running Broadsoft on RHEL 5 vs RHEL 4
Hello all, Does anyone have any information on advantages to running RHEL 5 for Broadsoft Application servers over RHEL 4? Specifically, are there any performance / scalability enhancements anyone has seen? Michael Lively Design Engineer Cox Communications michael.lively at cox.com 404-269-3415
It depends on what version of Broadworks you are running. If you don't follow the Software Management guide then TAC may raise a concern if they see you running Broadworks on a version of RHEL that isn't officially supported. Broadworks R15 does give you the choice of RHEL4 or RHEL 5. I haven't looked at the docs for R16 which was just released in August. R17 is scheduled for April of 2010 and R18 is scheduled for late 2010. Based on those timelines I would choose RHEL5 if possible as I'm sure RHEL5 will become the only version supported. If you are thinking about R13 or R14, you may want to ask TAC if it's ok to run RHEL5. I do like the fact that RHEL5 uses YUM.

I took a look at the latest (version 21) of the R14 Software Management Guide. As of R14.SP9 you can use RHEL5. 5.3.1 Installation Options BroadWorks is supported in RHEL 4 and RHEL 5 (Release 14.sp9 and later). The installation of these two operating system (OS) versions is not exactly the same. The following sections show the installation options required for each version.

R13 was EOM (end of maintenance) as of August 28 and R14 up through SP8 will be EOM on October 30, so they're probably off the table for a new install (or should be). If it were me, given what I've gleaned in dribs and drabs from people at Broadsoft, and I could do any platform I wanted, I'd lean towards IBM blade servers running RHEL5, simply because that appears to be the most supported platform most likely to be supported for the longest period, and I really hate migrations. --Jon Radel Mark Holloway wrote:
