Supported operating systems

VCS operates on the Linux operating systems and kernels distributed by Oracle, Red Hat, and SUSE.

Table: Supported Linux operating system and kernel versions lists the supported operating system versions for Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). The table also lists the supported kernel versions and the architecture.

Note:

If your system runs an older version of either Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, you must upgrade the operating system before you attempt to install the VCS software. Refer to the Oracle, Red Hat, or SUSE documentation for more information on upgrading your system.

Symantec supports only Oracle, Red Hat, and SUSE distributed kernel binaries.

Symantec products operate on subsequent kernel and patch releases provided the operating systems maintain kernel ABI (application binary interface) compatibility.

Information about the latest supported Red Hat erratas and updates and SUSE service packs is available in the following TechNote. The TechNote also includes any updates to the supported operating systems and software. Read this TechNote before you install Symantec products.
