This section only applies to Dbvisit Standby version 7.0.02 to 7.0.08 on Linux based systems.

 

If using Dbvisit Standby versions 7.0.02 to 7.0.8 you have to make sure you meet the following pre-requisites:

 

 

Required Operating System packages

(Linux)

Dbvisit Standby 7.0.02-7.0.08 requires the following 32bit packages and their dependancies to be installed:

  • glibc 

  • openssl-devel (dependancies must be installed, such as openssl, zlib-devel and krb5-devel)


For 64bit environments it is required to have the 32bit versions of these packages installed as well.

 

Commands that can be used to test (list information about) the installation of these modules are:

yum list glibc
yum list openssl-devel

 

If you do not install these packages and their dependencies, you will get errors during Dbvisit Standby installation similar to the following (this is due to glibc.i686 not being installed on OEL6 or RHEL):

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 bad ELF interpreter no such file or directory

 

Most Oracle Linux and Red Hat Linux 4 and 5 64bit installations does include required shared libraries for 32bit, but with Oracle Linux or Red Hat 6 64bit minimum installations, most of these 32bit libraries are not installed by default, such as the glibc.i686 above.

It is required for 64bit versions of OEL5, OEL6, RHEL5 and RHEL6 that you install the glibc.i686 as well as openssl-devel.686 packages and ALL its dependancies.

If you have your YUM repositories configured you can use the following commands to install these required packages and dependancies:

 yum install glibc.i686
 yum install openssl-devel.i686

 

Below is an example on Oracle Linux 6 (64bit):

Example:
 
yum install openssl-devel.i686
...
