The HCL Program

The Oracle Linux and Virtualization Hardware Certification List (HCL) provides users with information about servers certified with Oracle VM and Oracle Linux with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, and storage certified with Oracle VM.

This HCL web site provides information about hardware certified specifically with Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel. For certification information using a different kernel, please visit Frequently Asked Questions on the right side of the page.

Oracle Linux server certification also means Oracle Linux KVM server certification

Server virtualization with Oracle Linux KVM is supported on any Intel VT or AMD-V capable server that is certified for Oracle Linux 7 with UEK Release 5 (v4.14.35-1902 or later), Oracle Linux 7 with UEK Release 6, or Oracle Linux 8 with UEK Release 6. Please refer to the Server Systems tab for certification status of your virtualization-capable server.

Oracle Linux KVM host minimum requirements:

Oracle Linux 7 (7.6 at a minimum) and UEK R5 Update 2 (4.14.35-1902 at a minimum)
Oracle Linux 7 (7.7 at a minimum) and UEK R6 (5.4.17-2011 at a minimum)
Oracle Linux 8 (8.1 at a minimum) and UEK R6 (5.4.17-2011 at a minimum)

There are no certification requirements for storage hardware systems with Oracle Linux KVM. Oracle Linux KVM uses kernel interfaces to communicate with storage hardware systems, and does not depend on an application programming interface (API).
