Range of UNIX Platforms Served by ASIS

Philippe Defert , IT/PDP


Abstract

This article is a regular reference point for the platforms served by the ASIS server and their current level of support.


The status with the ASIS Application Software repository is presently as follows:

  • Supported platforms:
    • i386_redhat61: Linux Red Hat 6.1
    • sun4x_56: SUN Solaris 2.6
    • sun4x_57: SUN Solaris 7 (partial)
    • hp_ux102: HP-UX 10.20
    • alpha_dux40: DEC OSF 4.0f
    • rs_aix43: IBM AIX 4.3.2
  • Unsupported platforms:
    • sgi_64: SGI Irix 6.4 and 6.5 (active)
    • sun4c_411 (SUNOS 4.1.3) (frozen since 1997)
    • hp700_ux90 (HP-UX 9.05) (frozen since 1997)
    • alpha_osf32 (DEC OSF 3.2c) (frozen since 1997)
    • rs_aix41: IBM AIX 4.1.5 (frozen since 1998)
    • rs_aix42: IBM AIX 4.2.x (frozen since 1999)
    • sun4x_55: SUN Solaris 2.5.1 (frozen since 1999)
    • i386_linux2: Linux Red Hat 4.1 (frozen since 1999)
    • i386_redhat51: Linux Red Hat 5.1 (frozen in May 2000)
    • i386_redhat60: Linux Red Hat 6.0 (frozen in February 2000)
A platform is declared "frozen" when all applications are kept in the repository but no new package or version of a package is ever introduced in the repository for this architecture.

A platform is declared "partial" when only some part of the applications is generated for this particular Operating System. Getting access to ASIS applications is to be done with the appropriate tools which will give you some application of this particular platform and the rest from the closest O.S., called the "fail-over".
