  • 1.  Can Critical System Protection support AIX 7.1

    Posted May 29, 2012 05:49 AM

    Hi,

    I am sourcing a host based IPS for AIX platform.  The target version of AIX to be used is version 7.1, however, from the Symantec Web Site, the latest version of AIX confirmed to be supported is AIX version 6.1.  May I clarify if there's any latest update that AIX version 7.1 can be supported, or Symantec has plan for Critical System Protection product to support AIX version 7.1 in the future?

    Thanks,

    Harry.

    Current version of SCSP DOES support AIX 7.1 for IDS

     

    DOES NOT support IPS

    Hi AMoss,

    Thank you for the reply.

    May I know if Symantec has plan to enhance SCSP to support IPS on AIX 7.1?  I am currently sourcing the IPS software for AIX with target rollout date in early 2013, if SCSP can support IPS on AIX 7.1 by then, it would match my project need.

    Thanks,

    Harry.

    you need to contact Symantec partner or sales account team to know the roadmap for inclusion of IPS in AIX 7.1.

    Also TL0 SP3 is the one that is supported for AIX 7.1 for IDS in latest SCSP version.

    I am having problems with AIX 5.3 and 6.1 at the moment where the "DEFERRED-FREE or REDZONED MEMORY READ ERRORS" is occurring on all of my Agent servers whenever IPS is enabled. Currently we have disabled IPS. I have applied the 5.2.8.MP4 hotfix yet the issue persists.

    Makes me wonder if AIX 5.3 and 6.1 are really a supported platform for SCSP as opposed to what the white paper indicates it to be.
