Environment:
Client Automation Agent 14.0, 14.0 SP1 or 14.0 SP2 on Red Hat Linux 6.10

 
Cause:

Red Hat Linux 6.10 is not supported/certified in Client Automation 14.0, 14.0 SP1 and 14.0 SP2

See compatibility matrix :
https://support.ca.com/us/product-content/status/compatibility-matrix/ca-it-client-manager-agent-compatibility-matrix.html

But an updated OSConfig.xml file could add the classification for this Red Hat Linux version.

 
Resolution:

1- Make sure that ClassID for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.10 x86 (5551) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.10 x86_64 (5552) are present in mdb database
If Engine job "Default Software Contents Download Job" has been successfully executed recently they should be present.

Following SQL Query could be executed to verify this :

select * from ca_class_def where class_name like 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.10%'

This query should return 2 rows.
