Performing the Single-node Installation...

Required RHEL OS versions: 7.1-7.4 available: 7.6 [FAIL]

..

Cause

We don't officially claim support for it so the installer will block you for further installation if OS version is 7.5+

Environment

CA App Experience Analytics 17.x

Resolution

Workaround:

1. Open AXA-HOME/bin/validations.sh

2. Update below environment variable to allow the installer to continue, in this example it it is RH 7.6, so variable needs to be updated as below:

OS_RELEASE_MAX=7.6 

3. Rerun the installer ./aoPlatformInstaller.sh
