Trying to install the DataProtector client (disk agent) on a Novell/SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server9 (SLES9) SP2 client gave the error message:

Unsupported architecture/OS type
(Linux xyzz 2.6.5-7.201-smp #1 SMP Thu Aug 25 06:20:45 UTC 2005 x64_64 x86_64
x86_64)

Can I convince DP to install the 32bit client (if no 64 bit client exists)?

Regards,
Ulrich

On redhat/x86_64, there is a little setarch utility which may help:

SYNOPSIS
setarch [ -3 ] program

DESCRIPTION
setarch This utility currently only affects the output of uname -m. For
example, on an AMD64 system, running 'setarch i386 program' will cause
'program' to see i686 (or other relevant arch) instead of x86_64 as
machine type. On systems where it is supported, the -3 option specifies
that processes should use a maximum of 3GB of address space.

EXAMPLES
setarch ppc32 rpmbuild --target=ppc --rebuild foo.src.rpm

Thanks Paul for the hint, but unfortunately SLES9 does not have that feature.

You should be able to compile it from source:
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub...-1.8-1.src.rpm

Hi!

I chose a different solution: Patch PHSS_32842 did not help (although the
support matrix dated 10.10.2005 said it's required). So I just copied the
installation from a 32bit SUSE Linux machine and _imported_ the client
(instead of installing). So far Data Protector is happy with that. Soon I'll
now whether the scheduled backup will work. Stay tuned ;-)

Regards,
Ulrich
