Fresh Install on REHL 5.7?

[jbennett]

I have finally convinced our enterprise server team to give me space on a blade for Nagios rather than a box sitting on my desk.

As such, they have to be in control of the OS install.

According to

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/*-release

I have the following:

Code: Select all

Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Carthage)
Oracle Linux Server release 5.7
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)

Per the documentation, REHL 5 is supported. I'm assuming that Oracle Linux (based upon REHL) is not supported?

When I go through the install process, I get the following when invoking the install script:

Code: Select all

Configuring Yum...
enterpriseenterpriseserver5.7 is not currently supported. Please use CentOS or RHEL versions 5 or 6 instead.

At the very beginning of the install script, I got the following, which I assume is an indication of the OS not being correct for what s actually supported?

Code: Select all

Your system $PATH does not include /sbin and /usr/sbin. This is usually the result of installing GNOME rather than creating a clean system.
Adding /sbin and /usr/sbin to $PATH.

Only clean minimal install of CentOS or RHEL 5 or 6 are supported.
