Description
When doing a new install on a tru64 box it does not recognise the OS and installation cannot continue.
-
Cause
The shareplex installation scripts in v4.0 and v4.5 call the UNIX uname command and returns the OS as P5.1 rather than V5.1 which we are expecting:
Uname output :
# uname -r
P5.1
# uname -s
OSF1
#uname -a
OSF1 aukshpat P5.1 1644 alpha -
Resolution
WORKAROUND:
Go to the directory where the shareplex installation scripts are (the top directory containing the splex-install script).
Then run grep to find all occurrences of V5.1
grep V5.1 *
This will list 5 or more occurrences of the tru64 V5.1 OS version which we are looking for to allow the installation to work.
keep a copy of the files containing the pattern V5.1 and then edit the originals changing all references for V5.1 to P5.1
