It is possible to run a compatibility check to ensure that the user’s hardware configuration (including network interfaces and storage controllers) is compatible with the LoadMaster OS.

To run the check, select check hardware compatibility and press OK.

The results of the compatibility check will be displayed. There are two possible messages:

  • Success: Congratulations! LoadMaster OS is compatible with this machine. This means that the installation can continue. Press return on the keyboard to exit the results screen and return to the LoadMaster-installation main menu. Select start installation to begin the LoadMaster installation. Refer to the relevant Installation Guide on the Progress Kemp documentation page for further steps on initially configuring the LoadMaster. Refer to the Licensing Feature Description document for instructions on how to license the LoadMaster.
  • Fail: The LoadMaster OS is not compatible with this machine. Press return to exit the results screen and return to the LoadMaster-installation main menu. Please consult the Progress Kemp website for more details on hardware compatibility.

If the check fails, the installation will not work. If desired, please contact a Progress Kemp representative with the details from the hardware compatibility check to discuss compatibility.

For a list of server platforms and hardware devices supported by the LoadMaster OS, refer to the LoadMaster - Bare Metal Hardware Compatibility list.
