Does BES server 6.0.12.5 support Solaris10-x86 client?

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Hi All

I got BES server 6.0.12.5 and recently there were new x86 clients. I installed BES client 6.0.12.5 on them but it didnot work. So, I installed BES client 7 instead. I could see those machines listed on BES console but there were no Relevant fixlet available at all. I also could not do any other tasks on these x86 clients as well.

So, Was it about version of BES server not supporting x86? or How could I manage x86 client on 6.0.12.5 BES server?

Thank you in advance

Hi Peter,

Solaris 10 x86 is a supported operating system for BES versions 6.0 and higher, however you cannot have 7.0 clients (of any OS) reporting to 6.0 server When you say you couldn’t get it 6.0 to work, what were the symptoms?

Also be aware of the pre-req’s listed on the client download page:
