Warning:

During testing of WinCC OA some stability issues were found while using the Kernel 5.14.0-284.11.1.el9_2.x86_64 which lead to non-responding virtual machines within the test environment (VMware ESXi 7.0 Update 3k).

Changing the Kernel to version 5.14.0-162.12.1.el9_1.x86_64 prevented the issue from appearing, and is therefore recommended.
