GIM Installation on SuSe Enterprise Linux fails with error message: "-E- VENDOR mismatch (required=rhel, received=suse)"

Troubleshooting


Problem

During the installation of the Guardium Installation Manager (GIM), there is a validation step where the installer needs to check if the operating system where the software is being installed is supported.
While SuSe Enterprise Linux v 12 is supported, the installation may fail sometimes with the following error:
/tmp/guard-bundle-GIM-10.6.0.2_r106401_v10_6_1-suse-12-linux-x86_64.gim.sh -- --dir /opt/guardium/ --sqlguardip <GIM_server_IP> --tapip <GIM_client_IP> --perl /usr/bin/
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

-E- VENDOR mismatch (required=rhel, received=suse) at ./gim_installer line 1403.
Installation failed

Symptom

GIM installation fails with an error message similar to this:
-E- VENDOR mismatch (required=rhel, received=suse)
