Hello Marcello,

execute the command "uname -a " in your system and you will get the informatrion about the platform and versions.

According to that data you can choose the SMD agent.

Marcello,

RED HAT is Linux,

So you really need to match it to the hardware platform, not the flavour of Linux.

If your server is 32 bit, you can't install teh 64 bit version, because the hardware needs to support 64 bit.

IA64 is a special architecture (Intel Architecture)

Power 64 Bit is IBM Power server line

x86_64 64bit is your IBM PC clone type architecture

So as you can see Red Hat is Linux....what you need to map it to is your hardware platform.

I hope this explains how the software is bundled, and how to determine which meets your requirements.

Thank you.

Regards,

Paul
