Resolution

Install 32‐bit Runtime Support with either of the following commands on RHEL:

 

                yum install libstdc++.i686 pam.i686 pcre.i686 expat.i686 openldap.i686 libtool-ltdl.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686

 

                Alternately install the package “compat-libraries”:  yum groupinstall compat-libraries

 

Ensure that the dependencies are up to date RHEL:

 

                yum update libstdc++

                yum update pam

                yum update pcre

                yum update expat

                yum update openldap

                yum update libtool-ltdl

                yum update compat-libstdc++-33

 

Resolve any necessary system dependencies:

 

                yum install

 

Verify the Host Name Returns Properly:

 

Add the host name to the /etc/hosts file containing the IP address.  To verify, run the following command: hostname -f

               

Note, the Change Guardian Server can be configured to run on a static IP Address rather than a host name.

 

Kernel SHMMAX Parameter to Enable PostgreSQL:

 

                Change the kernel SHMMAX parameter, append the following information to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:

                               

# for Sentinel Postgresql

                                kernel.shmmax=1073741824

 

Verify CG Server Ports Are Open:

 

                iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport port_number -j ACCEPT

                On RHEL: service iptables save

                On SLES: iptables-save

Cause

RedHat (RHEL) 6.4 was released with a modified file set from 6.3 which caused the documentation for prerequisite to be different.
