Possible to Install Common Event Enabler on non-Enterprise linux?

Question

I want to install Common Event Enabler on a non-Enterprise linux, preferably Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora.

According to the documentation the only supported environments for CEE is Redhat Enterprise and Suse Enterprise (and Windows)

Does this mean that Dell will try it's best hinder my attempts at getting CEE working, or has anyone had success getting CEE working on a non-enterprise linux version?

Hi,

Thanks for your question. You can try it. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if it is a new enough version. https://dell.to/4213ohs However if it doesn’t work we can’t help you make it work.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Just to follow up on this topic, for anyone landing here at a later time:

emc_cee.exe is actually calling a function called CPlatform::IsSupported() inside libCEECore.so and it will actually quit the program if it decides that your platform is not supported.

So it actually *seems* like Dell has gone out of its way to prevent users from running the tool on any linux distro that is not explicetly supported.
