System x and BladeCenter Operating Systems offerings

Attention:
A four-digit feature code is used to specify a component that is configurable in the IBM configurators, the eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada. Options that do not have feature codes cannot be integrated by IBM into a system using these IBM configurators. To purchase options separately, refer to the option part number provided in this document.

All OS offerings must be purchased with new hardware. If the hardware is bought directly from IBM, Microsoft offerings must be purchased integrated within new hardware. The eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada should be used to specify the four-digit Microsoft feature code that must be chosen to intergrate into a new server configuration. All OS offerings may also be available from IBM Business Partners. Subscription offerings from Red Hat and SUSE may be purchased without new IBM hardware when renewing an offering subscription that was initially purchased from IBM.

IBM Systems Group offers Operating Systems (OS) on System x and BladeCenter servers. IBM OS offerings are made available on a server after rigorous testing is completed to assure that they are reliable solutions. Purchasing the OS with new hardware is a convenient and cost-effective way to deploy new hardware. Some Microsoft OS offerings are available pre-installed on the server. All other offerings must be installed by the customer.

The following chart shows which OS offerings are available for each System x server or chassis.
