Question & Answer


Question

Why does some of the vulnerability assessments tests give "Unsupported Operating System Test not supported for this operating system." for my Netezza db-server? My Netezza database server was supplied to me by IBM and got supported OS on it. The test results show something like this: File ownership Test category: Other Severity: Info This test checks OS-level ownership of essential Netezza files. Incorrect setting of file's owner and group could cause database software not to function properly and give hackers another chance to break in. Ext. Reference: Guardium, Test ID 281 Unsupported Operating System Test not supported for this operating system. Recommendation: This test is not valid for this version of the Operating System. No action is required. NZ_VA Datasource type: NETEZZA Severity: None Details: N/A
