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="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.

Subject: Help with installing on RHEL 6
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.
