VSF for RHEL 4.8 32bit

Hello all,

Will you please suggest what is the appropriate VSF version and MP for RHEL 4.8 32bit.

This version sould be compatible with 'HP Proliant X5570, DL380 G6'

I did refer 'Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 5.0' Hardware Compatibility List.
In this document, it is mentioned 'Supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of VCS. Supports only 64-bit versions of all other software stacks '  for 'Intel EM64T architecture' processor, below 'Linux - Red Hat/SUSE'  table.

Can I go ahead and purchase this version for my requirement (RHEL 4.8 32bit.).

Thanks in advance,
Sr

Tank you,

I've just got a mail from Veritas Technical Team, that

For RHEL 4.8 (64 bit) you need to go with SF 5.0 MP3

If you need support for RHEL 4.8 (32 bit) you need to go with SF 4.1

Thanks again,
Sr

Unfortunately only 64-bit hardware is supported. 32-bit VCS (Veritas Cluster Server) software is supported on 64-bit hardware.
If you have another look at two hardware options in the HCL, it lists the following on page 4:
Intel EM64T architecture
AMD Opteron architecture
The footnote says the following:
Supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of VCS. Supports only 64-bit versions of all other software stacks.

Extract from 5.0 MP3 Release Notes:
The Veritas 5.0 MP3 release operates on the following operating systems and hardware:
■ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4) with Update 3 (2.6.9-34 kernel) or later on AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon EM64T (x86_64).
■ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5) with Update 1 (2.6.18-53.el5 kernel) or later on AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon EM64T (x86_64)
■ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES 9) with SP3 (2.6.5-7.244 kernel or later) or SP4 (2.6.5-7.308 kernel or later) on AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon EM64T (x86_64)
■ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10) with SP1 (2.6.16.46-0.12 kernel or later) or SP2 (2.6.16.60-0.21 kernel or later) on AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon EM64T (x86_64)
■ Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.4 or later on AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon EM64T (x86_64)
■ Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.1 or later on AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon EM64T (x86_64)
