Backup Exec RALUS on AIX

A customer of mine recently bought a few Backup Exec 2010 licenses and sent me an email today stating that he couldn't install the RALUS on an AIX server. Since I am not too familiar with Unix, I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me in identifying the problem. Have pasted the details below...

                if [ $HDWR_TYPE = "i86pc" ] ; then
                        BITS_ARCH=`isainfo -b`

                                echo "ERROR: 32-bit not supported."
 
                        elif [ -f ./RALUSx86/installralus ] ; then
                                cd ./RALUSx86
                                ./installralus $*

  • Hello Nawaz,

       What is the verion of AIX is the customer using?? AS per the Software Compatibility List (SCL) of BE 2010 only IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 with POWER OS Platform are supported with BE 2010. Please check the SCL from the following link :

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH73057

    Thanks,

    -Sush... 

  • IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 with POWER OS Platform is supported.......

  • @ Sush - With BE 2010, AIX 5.2 & 5.3 is no longer supported. Refer to the Support EOL section at the end of the SCL pdf.

  • @VJWare: My apology I was looking at the wrong section. Indeed AIX is not supported with BE 2010....

     

    Thanks,

    -Sush...

  • Thanks All... I presume that Tech Support might have a fix or work-around for the issue!!
