  • Differences between Supported Kernel and Legacy Kernel

    Posted on

    Hi,

    I am just wondering what is the differences between Supported Kernel and Legacy Kernel? I am reviewing the possibility to install SEP in the Linux server and my spec as below:-

    [root home]# uname -a
    Linux 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    [root proc]# lsb_release -a
    LSB Version: :core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-amd64:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
    Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseServer
    Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
    Release: 5.4
    Codename: Tikanga

    [root proc]# rpm -qa 'release'
    redhat-release-5Server-5.4.0.3
    redhat-release-notes-5Server-29

    [root etc]# cat redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

    [root etc]# java -version
    java version "1.6.0_19"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_19-b04)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.2-b04, mixed mode)

    It appears in the Legacy kernel for the Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.5 client for Linux but supported Operating System is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (RHEL) 5U7 - 5U10, 6U2 - 6U5; 32-bit and 64-bit. Please advise.
