NB 9.1

Which one of these I should use?

eebinstaller_4040970_14_linuxR_x86_2_6_32
eebinstaller_4040970_14_linuxR_x86
eebinstaller_4040970_14_linuxS_x86_4_4_73

    I would say none, they look to be X86 (32bit) installers, you are on a 64bit system.

    Since they are EEB, I guess you got them from Veritas Support, in that case support should be able to tell you what EBB to use.

    But in general :

    S Binaries are in general for SUSE.

    R Binaries are in general for Red Hat (Oracle Linux is binary compatible version of Red Hat)

      Hi

      In addition to Nicolai post I would like to mention that the patches ending just with x86 are for master/media servers while the ones with x86_2_6_32 or x86_4_4_73 are just for clients.
