Datastax Enterprise 5.0.0 on red hat 6.4

I'm using red hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 (can't upgrade for now).

I want to use dse 5 with opscenter 6 in a new product I'm building. The environment is offline and is not connected to the Internet.

  1. Will dse 5 work on rhel 6.4?
  2. What is the best way to install dse and the opscenter, is it from an rpm or a tarball installation?
Solution

  • Regarding OS releases and DSE, RHEL 6.4 is not supported / tested with DSE 5.0 and OpsCenter 6, see these links for more info:

    Also product compatibility with DSE releases:

    I personally prefer package installs but as you're using a configuration that might present some issues then you're probably better off with a tarball install. Tarball installs are also useful if you want to have a test platform with multiple releases.
