Re: [Veritas-bu] Oracle Linux and BMR

The likely reason it worked is Oracle
Linux is based on RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) which is supported.
“not supported” typically
means vendors will work with you on something until it becomes too hairy then
bail on you.
Of course the downside to modifying
/etc/release is that Oracle’s own products may interrogate that file
during installation or updates and complain. We had similar issue using “supported”
products on RHEL5 from Oracle (App/DB) that hadn’t updated their
distro/version routines to recognize RHEL5 for installation. Luckily the
files were easy to locate and we modified their case statements to include
RHEL5’s info.
I’m wondering if Oracle will abandon
Oracle Linux now that they own Sun including OpenSolaris a competing open
source product. (Or even vice-versa.)

I have recently had an issue with BMR for Oracle Linux. The BMR portion
of the backup will fail. I was told by Symantec that if I changed the
/etc/release file to something other that oracle linux it would fix the
issue. It did work after changing the file. My question is, is this
issue being seen by anyone else and if so, how did you deal with it. Is
is going to be fixed in NBU 7?
