Table: Supported Linux operating systems for 6.0 shows the supported Linux operating systems for the 6.0 release.

Note:

Sybase has not yet announced support for the SLES 11 and RHEL 6 platforms. Therefore, SF Sybase CE on RHEL 6 or SLES 11 is not supported by Symantec. Refer to the following TechNote for the latest information on the supported operating systems and Sybase database versions. The TechNote will be updated once Sybase supports Sybase ASE CE on RHEL 6 or SLES 11 platforms, and Symantec approves support for Sybase ASE CE on these platforms.

Note:

Only 64-bit operating systems are supported.

If your system is running an older version of either Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, or Oracle Linux, upgrade it before attempting to install the Veritas software. Consult the Red Hat, SUSE, or Oracle documentation for more information on upgrading or reinstalling your operating system.

For DMP, SF, SFHA, SFCFSHA, SFRAC, VCS, and VirtualStore, Symantec supports only Oracle, Red Hat, and SUSE distributed kernel binaries.

On Linux, Symantec products operate on subsequent kernel and patch releases provided the operating systems maintain kernel Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatibility.

For Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, all nodes in the cluster must have the same operating system version and update level.
