Hey Guys,
I saw another post that was locked regarding SSR Linux 2011 on Centos 6x
I just managed to get this running on Centos 6.2 x64. I know it is not officially supported but here is what I did.
[root@monitoring selfgz2675815911]# uname -a
Linux monitoring.nis.net.au 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 6 19:48:22 GMT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Downloaded SSR Linux 2011 tar.gz and extracted file Symantec_System_Recovery.bin
1. ./Symantec_System_Recovery.bin --confirm
About to extract 31228 KB in /tmp/selfgz673231182 ... Proceed ? [Y/n] y
After hitting Y, hit control Z to suspend install in background
2. go to cd /tmp/selfgz673231182/
3. change to SymSnap folder cd SymSnap. I install the Symsnap package under RHEL6.1 which worked
install the Symsnap RPM yum install -y symsnapfile.rpm
4. change back to /tmp/selfgz673231182/
5. yum install -y symsr-2.0.2-42850.i686.rpm
#had to run this command twice for it to work
6. Now do a test.
[root@monitoring selfgz2675815911]# symsr -b /dev/sda1

Will play with is but handy for SSR under Centos if this continues to work.
