  • 1.  Help with installing on RHEL 6

    Posted 07-14-2021 11:51
    We are currently running DBserver on our RHEL 6.10 linux box but would like to patch it with the latest version.  I run the install.sh script but it says OS version 6 is not supported.

    Does anyone know what steps are needed to get the installer to run?  If it is like the windows installers, you need to fool it somehow.

    Hello Jack,

    RHEL 6 is still supported for DBServer on the latest version 8.5.100.07. I guess the the RHEL 6.10 linux installed in your customer's facility maybe a 32 bit variant.

    From ip_description.xml file of 8.5.100.07 DBServer:
    Release Version="8.5.100.07" BuildDate="2020-09-16" BuildNumber="1" Type="General"/>  
    <Platforms OSGroupName="linux">
        <Computer Type="Intel EM64T">
          <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="6" CfgOSType="16"/>
          <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="7" CfgOSType="16"/>
          <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="8" CfgOSType="16"/>
          <OS Name="CentOS Linux" Version="7" CfgOSType="16"/>
          <OS Name="Oracle Linux" Version="7" CfgOSType="16"/>
          <OS Name="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" Version="12" CfgOSType="16"/>
        </Computer>


    You may check uname -a output. If you have a 32bit version then I am afraid you may not be able to install latest DBServer version.

    [root@RHEL-6MA ip]# uname -a
    Linux RHEL-6MA 2.6.32-754.14.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 24 16:18:30 EDT 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


    The dbserver IP version 8.1.301.15 is the highest version that supports 32 bit version of RHEL

    <Release Version="8.1.301.15" BuildDate="2017-05-22" BuildNumber="1" Type="General"/>
      <Platforms OSGroupName="linux">
        <Computer Type="Intel 32 bit">
          <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="5" CfgOSType="16"/>
          <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="6" CfgOSType="16"/>
        </Computer>
        <Computer Type="Intel EM64T">
          <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="5" CfgOSType="16"/>
          <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="6" CfgOSType="16"/>
          <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="7" CfgOSType="16"/>
        </Computer>
      </Platforms>


    Even if you try editing the latest DBServer's ip_description.xml and add an Intel 32 bit segment to allow installation on 32 bit RHEL, I am afraid the DBServer may not work because the dbclient files like dbclient_oracle_64 and dbclient_mssql_64 are 64 bit version which will not work on a 32 bit RHEL.

    <Computer Type="Intel 32 bit">
    <OS Name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS" Version="6" CfgOSType="16"/>
    </Computer>​
