SUSE SLES - Minimum Operating System Requirements

Back to HPE Servers Support & OS Certification Matrices

Welcome to HPE's interactive SLES minimum operating system requirements webpage for HPE Servers.


Just click on the server to obtain driver downloads, certification and support information. HPE recommends that our customers update to the latest service packs and security releases from SUSE.


HPE is committed to supporting all customers that install latest services packs and security releases released from SUSE. Review the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Lifecycle Policy

PLEASE NOTE: Minimum support includes all future updates of the indicated release unless a maximum is listed. (Example: SLES 12 implies support for SLES12.x, unless it's specifically called out in the notes as "not supported with 12.x")

If you prefer using distribution-provided drivers, you need not wait for the release of an SPP supporting the latest update/Service Pack of the distribution, provided there is no new hardware being deployed. You may safely apply the latest SPP(non-driver components) and be assured of support from HPE.

PLEASE NOTE: Minimum support includes all future updates of the indicated release unless a maximum is listed. (Example: SLES 12 implies support for SLES12.x, unless it's specifically called out in the notes as "not supported with 12.x")

If you prefer using distribution-provided drivers, you need not wait for the release of an SPP supporting the latest update/Service Pack of the distribution, provided there is no new hardware being deployed. You may safely apply the latest SPP(non-driver components) and be assured of support from HPE.
