Linux CENTOS compatibility with SSR 2011 Linux Edition.

Hi,

Has anybody tested on CentOS?  I'm looking for this solution on CentOS as well.

thanks,

Hai Mark,

You could just try it, since the SSR LNX edition will recognize all the file system structure of the same Linux flavour that it supports i.e RED HAT.

But, try it with your own consequences since Symantec won't acknowledge and support it at all. In other word, should there are bug, problem or system crash, you can't open case on Symantec Support.

Hi Mark,

I have not tested it yet

I may not recommend it since there will be no support from Symantec. I do not want issues later, even if it works at all

Have you had a try despite yorur OS is not officially supported ?

At this time SSR-L 2011 doesn't officially support any free open source OS for the backup. I believe CENTOS is the free open source for RedHat whereas, RedHat has paid support and upgrade.

Since the look and feel of RedHat and CentOS is the same you can give it a try with SSR-L 2011, however, it wouldn't be officially supported from Symantec as  the CentOS is not tested with SSR-L 2011.

Linux CENTOS 5 is not supported at this time. I don't have the roadmap for Linux, so I can't say at this point if or when it will be supported in future versions.

Hi Mark,

I already have this document.

I just want to know if the SSR 2011 Linux edition supports CENTOS. I don't see it on the list od system requirements.

Thank you.
