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... 

 

 

root@lokotin /RALUS_RMALS_RAMS-2896.9 # cat installralus
#!/bin/sh
 
VXIF_HOME=./;export VXIF_HOME
VXIF_ORIGENVLANG=$LANG;export VXIF_ORIGENVLANG
PERL_UNICODE=1;export PERL_UNICODE

HDWR_TYPE=`uname -m`
 
# Use our own distribution of Perl (VRTSperl)
case `uname` in
        SunOS)
                if [ $HDWR_TYPE = "i86pc" ] ; then
                        BITS_ARCH=`isainfo -b`
                        if [ $BITS_ARCH = "32" ] ; then
 
                                echo "ERROR: 32-bit not supported."
 
                        elif [ -f ./RALUSx86/installralus ] ; then
                                cd ./RALUSx86
                                ./installralus $*
                        else
                                echo "ERROR: Unable to launch Solaris x86 installer."
                        fi
                        exit 1
                else
                        if [ -f "./RALUS64/installralus" ] ; then
                                cd ./RALUS64
                                ./installralus $*
