Are Management Data plane feature supported to 5000 series appliance with R80.30

Can we enable the Management Data plane on 5900 appliances?

As per the sk138672 below is the minimum requirement for r80.30

============================
Minimum Requirements
This feature must be enabled with the following:
For R80.30 kernel 3.10, Jumbo Hotfix Take 136 or higher must be installed.
============================

And as per the release notes of kernel 3.10 Gaia R80.30 and sk152652, it says 3.10 Gaia doesn't support 5000 series.

It's saying: if you use the R80.30-3.10, you must have JHF 136 or above.
If you use R80.30 (which is based on 2.6.18), it should work fine provided the relevant platform has 8 or more cores.

Originally 8 cores were required, but it will now work with as little as 4. See this:

Edit: 5600, 5800, and 5900 all have at least 4 cores so this feature should work on them.

Thank you guys for reply.

As per the above update, this feature doesn't depend on Gaia os kernel?

No this feature is available in R80.30+ on both the 2.6.18 and 3.10 kernel, although if you have the 3.10 kernel you must have at least R80.30 Jumbo HFA take 194+ installed.
