    Posted Tue November 12, 2024 08:57 AM

    Hello Community

    Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) operating system is not listed in any official Storage Protect product requirement docs.

    Request to share your experience and knowledge with Storage Protect product implementation on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) operating system.

    Solution's like Oracle Exadata is hosting Oracle database on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) OS. 

    Requesting OEL support information mainly on below Storage Protect products:

    • IBM Storage Protect backup-archive clients - Filesystem backups
    • IBM Storage Protect for Databases: Data Protection for Oracle - RMAN backups
    • IBM Storage Protect for Storage Area Networks : Storage Agent - Lanfree to Tape Backups

    Regards,

    Prasun

    Since it is compiled from Red Hat Linux, you should check for Red Hat support. But I'm not sure if you can install the SP client on Exadata.

    Thanks for the response. 

    Linux x86_64 backup-archive client installation package is provided as *.rpm. So ideally we should be able to implement on RHEL compatible OEL OS.

    Data Protection for Oracle on a Linux x86_64 installation package is provided as *.bin (binary installer). Will this installation work on RHEL compatible OEL OS?
