Cause

Data Protection Advisor is working as designed.
Certain 64-bit system libraries were not installed on the O/S

To identify the missing system libraries, the following command can run on libawt_xawt.so which is located at <install_dir>/services/_jre/lib/amd64/:

ldd libawt_xawt.so

Below is an example of the command output:

[root@App_hostname amd64]# ldd libawt_xawt.so
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffbef89000)

Resolution

The missing libraries will need to be installed on the O/S to allow the installer to complete successfully. Tools such as Yum or Yast can be used to install the missing libraries.
Once the installation of the missing libraries has been completed then the following command can be run again to confirm all the required libraries are now in place:
