We have not actually validated 8.8. We still run on 8.6 in CI. I tried bumping to 8.7 but ran into failures that were unreproducible. This has gone through 2 iterations but I have yet to find time to validate the second iteration.

as 8.8 is the current EL8 level, we have to support it (in the sense that we accept tickets against it).
it's highlighted elsewhere in the doc that most validation was done on 8.6.
And 8.7 is not relevant anymore as it's EOL.

I don't see any tickets in SRS for support of EL 8.7 or 8.8. Given past experience we do not move distro versions until there is a ticket requesting it as we are not aware of what our customer support requirement/constraints are.
I.e. if we move to 8.8 without a request for it -- without understanding the customer support requirements, we risk building on a point release that will not support customer environments that are still running older versions, such as 8.6 for example.

good point, we'll add 2.4 SRS tickets to track EL8 OS validation beyond 8.6

Not sure about this TBH, but does not hurt.
DAOS Version 2.4 includes a Technology Preview of the | ||
_Metadata-on-SSD_ feature. This code path uses DRAM memory to hold the | ||
DAOS metadata, and persists the DAOS metadata on NVMe SSDs through | ||
a write-ahead log (WAL) and asynchronous metadata checkpointing. |

Maybe clarify somewhere that upgrade to 2.6 md-on-ssd GA is not guaranteed?

DAOS Version 2.4 supports Intel Volume Management Devices (VMD) to manage the | ||
NVMe disks on the DAOS servers. Enabling VMD is platform-dependent; | ||
details are provided in the Administration Guide. |

Maybe mentions that it is needed only for LED management.
