New in V11.0.0, VAST Platform is available for ARM as well as Intel Processors. VAST Platform comes with 32 bit and 64 bit product installers using Debian and RPM installation procedures. 32 bit installers are available whenever the operating system supports 32 bit.

UNIX Installation Preparation

New with 9.1 installers, supported versions of Linux need no preparation. The installer loads required packages as part of product installation.

Simple Installation of the 32-bit version of VAST Platform on a 64-bit Linux machine is also possible. The Linux installer automatically takes care of installing the 32-bit version of Motif and its prerequisites (e.g. libc) prior to installing the product.

New with 11.0.0, VAST Platform requires Linux operating systems which support GLIBC 2.28 or later. The VAST Platform image will not launch if this criteria is not met.

Library Upgrade

The library update is not automatic. The user must use the Library Importer (importer) to move code from the newly installed manager. This tool can merge new 13.0.1 code into your existing working manager. A log file will be placed into /tmp/importer.log. For more information, see the “Migration Tools” page in the Migration Guide)
