My knowledge of the "L" series is next to nil, but perhaps the S812L IBM Redbook will help provide some answers -->
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp5098.pdf
Page 78 lists the minimum O/S levels supported, at the time of its writing. My interpretation is only Ubuntu is supported as "bare metal"..... but I have no first hand experience with this..... so take it with a grain of salt.
If your S812L is capable of running a VIO Server (i.e. IVM now provides the virtualization functions for you) then you have a wealth of other options for Red Hat / SUSE.
If you log into your ASMI, expand all menus, find
VET Capability Settings, and post all the settings maybe we can tell if your m/c is VIO Server capable. And I get it, if you come back saying the VIO Server route represents a learning curve that isn't on your radar right now.

BACKUPLOG(5) AFS File Reference BACKUPLOG(5)
NAME
BackupLog - Traces Backup Server operations
DESCRIPTION
The BackupLog file records a trace of Backup Server (buserver process) operations on the local machine and describes any error conditions
it encounters.
If the BackupLog file does not already exist in the /var/log/openafs directory when the Backup Server starts, the server process creates it
and writes initial start-up messages to it. If there is an existing file, the Backup Server renames it to BackupLog.old, overwriting the
existing BackupLog.old file if it exists.
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file can use the bos getlog command to display its
contents. Alternatively, log on to the machine and use a text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX cat command. By default,
the mode bits on the BackupLog file grant the required "r" (read) permission to all users.
The Backup Server records operations only as it completes them, and so cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents
are useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other problems.
