Install on Linux IA64 Systems

The SystemEDGE installation infrastructure is only available on x86 architecture. While installing SystemEDGE on Linux IA64 systems, you must check if IA-32 Execution Layer is already installed on Linux systems.

You can check if the layer is available using the following command:

/etc/init.d/ia32el

If the Execution Layer is not available, you need to install the layer on Linux systems.

To install IA-32 Execution Layer

  1. Install ia32el rpm.
  2. Install the appropriate glibc i686 RPM for your operating system version. To check which version to install, run the following command: 
    rpm-qa | grep glibc

    The /emul/ia32-linux folder is created.

  3. Add the legacy IA64 C++ libraries (compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.ia64.rpm).

    The exact package version varies for different operating system releases.

For more information about the ia32el package, see the vendor documentation.
