Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm a z/OS sysprog trying to keep z/VM and zlinux running at our shop so most of my questions are probably dumb. But we're trying to get a vendor tool (CA's Workload Automation agent) running on our new RHEL6.2 linux-on-z servers, and we can't find the right Java package for it. Part of it was not understanding the Java packaging, but now that we know that the agent requirement of "JRE 1.6 SR8, or higher (31-bit)" means we need to find a Java 2 1.6.0 Runtime Environment package for s390 (31-bit, right?) at service release 8 or better, we can't seem to find one. The closest we found was on the RedHat site for RHEL4-- java-1.6.0-ibm-1.6.0.9.2-1jpp.2.el4.s390.rpm. However, when we try to install that, it attempts to replace the 64-bit Java 1.6 already on the server. Can they not coexist like on z/OS? If we whack the s390x version of Java 1.6 and replace it with this package, will it even work, or does the fact that it's compiled with the old linux kernel (at least, I think RHEL4 was Linux 2.4) make it incompatible with RHEL6? We could of course ram it through and play with it, but I'd be afraid that we'd be setting ourselves up for core dumps in the future even if it looked okay at first startup...
If the answer is RTFM, please point me to the manual-I'd love to have been able to figure this out on my own, but google was giving me bad advice. Thanks!
