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

    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.
