Cadence issue on CentOS6.7

Arafat01

Hi,

We have a installed CentOS 6.7 on new machine.

I tried running cadence on it in same manner as I used to run on any other machine.

it gave me the following error.

:~/cent_test$ WARNING: HOST <ct67cad-01> DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A CADENCE SUPPORTED LINUX CONFIGURATION.

         For More Info,  Please Run '<cdsroot>/tools.lnx86/bin/checkSysConf' <productId>.

 

virtuoso:   ERROR: The command /cad/cadence/IC616s513/share/oa/bin/sysname returned an error status:

                            unknown

virtuoso:    INFO: Note that OpenAccess (OA) requires running the Configure phase.

virtuoso:          See the "OpenAccess Installation and Configuration Guide" before

virtuoso:          you complete the configuration step. This manual is included with

virtuoso:          the Cadence product documentation.

Please let me know if any one has any idea about it.

Thank You

    Well, it is true that this is not a supported OS configuration (we don't support CentOS). However, I would expect CentOS 6.7 to be OK since it's essentially the same as RHEL 6.7. More interesting is the OA error message - that does more surprising.

    What does "uname -a" report?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I did that.

    It says

    Linux ct67cad-01 3.18.21-17.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 17 12:06:22 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Is there any customization needed to be done with the CentOS

    Thank You

    That looks very odd. The kernel version you have is very high - CentOS 6 releases should be based on something like 2.6.32 (or there abouts - that's what I have on my RHEL6,5 machine). CentOS 7 would have a version 3 kernel (for example, RHEL7.1 has 3.10.0-229.el7).

    So I'm very surprised about the fact that you have such a high kernel - and that's the reason (almost certainly) why this doesn't work.

    There is a high chance things won't work properly even if I gave you hacks to make things work, and I don't want to do that in a public forum anyway as it implies support.

    Fundamentally you're using a non-standard variation of an unsupported OS. You should use something that is either supported or at the very least closer to something that is supported! A standard CentOS 6.* release is likely to work OK in practice, despite not being supported, because RHEL6.* is supported.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the help.

    I discussed this with the UNIX admin.

    He got it fixed.

    Hi Andrew, please help me too - on similar lines. Am a student using cadence virtuoso for a lab assignment.

    I get the following for uname -a : 

    Linux ieng6-240.xxxx.edu 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 14 21:49:04 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Which IC version are you trying to run? Which OS are you running (I'm assuming from the Kernel it's RHEL7 or CentOS 7) in which case you need to be using at least IC617 or ICADV122/123; IC616 is not supported on this newer OS.

    Andrew.
