Agent-Based Scan – Requirements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

To deploy the Vulnerable Software Discovery Tool for Red Hat Linux 6 RPM and Vulnerable Software Discovery Tool for Red Hat Linux 7 RPM:

Note:The svmscan_linux agent for RHEL is architecture independent (that is, it works for 32- and 64-bit).

To install the Single Host Agent on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) machine, the user:

•

Must be a member of the sudoer group.

•

Must have write access to the /etc/smvscan folder to save configuration data.

•

Must have a RHEL machine that supports the following operating systems:

•

RHEL 6: requires bash, gzip, sed, gawk, procps, coreutils, glibc(x86-32), libcurl(x86-32), libconfig(x86-32), libuuid(x86-32), yum, yum-security

•

RHEL 7: requires: bash, sed, gawk, procps, coreutils, glibc(x86-32), libcurl(x86-32), libconfig(x86-32), libuuid(x86-32), yum

To install the RHEL agent, see Install the Vulnerable Software Discovery Tool for Red Hat Linux 6 RPM and 7 RPM.

Note:It may be possible to install the scan Agent on RHEL operating systems and configurations other than those described above. However, these have not been tested and are not supported by Flexera.
