McAfee is pleased to announce the addition of support for Redhat 6.x and CentOS 6.x in the Amazon AWS environment.
This addition requires a two part solution due to a potential Kernel Panic issue while starting or running the nails service in the Amazon AWS environment:
- To address potential deployment issues, McAfee has created a specific build of the VSEL 1.9 installer that does not start the nails service when the installation completes.
- To resolve the Kernel Panic, McAfee has included Hotfix 977781 in this package. This hotfix also starts the nails service on completion of installation.
If you use ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) to deploy VSEL 1.9, you must remove the original VSEL Deployment package from your repositories and replace it with this new package. You can also deploy the new package and hotfix combination in other supported Linux Distributions (listed in the package readme).
To request the new VSEL 1.9 package, contact Technical Support and reference this article number (KB82757) to have a support case created.
IMPORTANT: If you have already installed the Release-To-Web (RTW) version of VSEL 1.9 on Redhat 6.x or CentOS 6.x in the Amazon AWS environment, you must install Hotfix 977781 (available from the Product Downloads site) to add support for this environment.
