You should be able to determine if the binary is for your OS simply by
typing "file <binary name>". It should give some information as to the
type of executable it is OR it will tell you something that isn't a type
of executable (usually "data", maybe awk, pascal or something else if it
is really confused by it). If it shows it is an executable then it
should be correct for your chipset - if it doesn't then you've likely
nailed the issue.

Hi, Mark -
I'd like to hear how this story ends. My group has purchased an X4500
for our new master/disk media server, and we're concerned about how
Veritas support will handle the newly-supported x86 OS.
Thanks
Karen
