SLES 9 SP2 running in on BC12 hardware?

SUSE Linux Enterprise Extensions SLES Hardware

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade z10 box to BC12 and we run SLES9 SP2 on z/VM5.4 in z10. Due to project timeline, we need to upgrade the hardware to BC12 first prior to upgrading SLES 9 to supported Linux version (SLES 10 SP4 or SLES 11) in BC12. According to IBM BC12 specification we need to run SLES 10 SP4 and above.

We knew SLES 9 is already EOS, has anyone running SLES 9 SP2 in BC12?

Thanks

Ae you running HiperSockets in your guests?
Make sure to check with your IBM CSR that the hardware /OSA and flash if equiped is supported in SLES 9 .
Most likely you will need SLES 10 SP 4 for the new hardware support.
