Component : Linux -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1563102 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP note addresses installation issues of the 7.20 EXT kernel on unsupported Linux versions. The prerequisites for a successful installation include running the Linux OS on SLES 11 SP1, RHEL 6, or OL 6. Error message "/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.x' not found" indicates an outdated Linux system incompatible with the 7.20 EXT kernel. Users are advised to either upgrade their Linux distribution or refer to SAP note 1574751 to revert to the normal 7.20 kernel if the 7.20 EXT kernel was selected in error. This solution is critical for ensuring compatibility and stability of SAP systems with newer releases of NetWeaver.
