(DP) Support Tip: Installation of DP9.0 Cell Manager on Linux RedHat6.6 failed with glibc-2 package not installed:
Error: To be able to install Data Protector Cell Manager on this platform,
glibc-2.12-1.25.el6.i686 or a later version must be installed on the system.
The requirement is documented in HP Data Protector 9.00 Installation Guide, Under Installing a UNIX Cell Manager
**Prerequisites
Have GNU C Library (glibc) 2.12-1.25.el6.i686 or a later version installed.
On x86_64 Linux systems, glibc-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 is installed by default, but the required glibc-2.12-1.25.el6.i686 is missing
[root@myserver]# rpm -qa | grep glibc-2
glibc-2.12-1.149.el6.x86_64
[root@myserver]#
Solution
You need to manually install glibc-2.12-1.25.el6.i686. It should not be a problem if all its required packages are installed.
example:
[root@myserver]# yum install glibc*i686
Verify:
[root@myserver]# rpm -qa | grep glibc-2
glibc-2.12-1.149.el6.x86_64
glibc-2.12-1.149.el6.i686 <- - here
Installation will then complete without error:
[root@myserver LOCAL_INSTALL]# ./omnisetup.sh -CM
..
Passed: Package glibc-2.12-1.149.el6.i686 is installed on the system.
