Since the latest patches for Data Protector (621, 701) the kernel version 3 for Linux is supported to install a new client using installation server. In general there shouldn’t be a problem during the installation, however when you receive following error message (i.e. for OpenSuse or SLES 11 SP2): Unsupported architecture/OS type (Linux CLIENT 3.1.9-1.4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMT …) Skipping Client!, you have 3 options to handle on – 2 workarounds, 1 solution. Workaround 1: do a local installation of core.rpm and da.rpm on the client (packages can be extracted from installation server). Workaround 2: copy the file /etc/os-release to /etc/novell-release on the client in question and start the push installation using GUI. The solution will be the installation of a hotfix (the QCCR number I post as soon I have the fix received).
Hi,
do you have any information about hotfix QCCR number for this problem?
Hi Majkel,
the hotfix meanwhile was superseded by the current patches. So, install the latest patches and you are done.
Best regards
Daniel
