This article addresses the following:

• Which architecture of the JRE should be installed (32-bit or 64-bit) when installing EMC Data Access API (EDAA) on a Linux host serving a Smarts SAM environment
• How to set the SM_JAVA and SM_JAVAHOME environment variables in the runcmd file

To load the EDAA on Linux, you need to use the 32-bit JRE. Do not install the server JRE that came out as Java 7u21. The environment variable should be set as follows:

• SM_JAVAHOME=/usr/java/latest
• SM_JAVA=/usr/java/latest/bin:/usr/java/latest/lib/i386/client
