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 Red Hat or SUSE
documentation for more information on upgrading your system.
Symantec supports only 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.
