Hi, just noticed an issue with EAR on armv8. Setup consists of Fedora 29 on raspberry pi 3b+ and 14.10.FC1DE. During instance init: Initializing encryption-at-rest if necessary...succeeded Initializing encryption-at-rest structures (part 1)...FAILED Message log: 11:30:18 ICC library load failed Tried this: [informix@localhost gskit]$ sudo $INFORMIXDIR/gskit/installgskit Performing GSKit installation for Linux ... but this doesn't bring any changes. Further investigation: [informix@localhost gskit]$ ls -altr total 16180 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 informix informix 2853888 Jan 10 03:15 gskcrypt64-8.0.50.88.linux.arm64.tar -rwxr-xr-x. 1 informix informix 13692416 Jan 10 03:15 gskssl64-8.0.50.88.linux.arm64.tar -rwxr--r--. 1 root informix 6659 Jan 10 03:49 installgskit -r-xr-xr-x. 1 informix informix 2696 Jan 10 03:49 README drwxrwxr-x. 23 informix informix 4096 Apr 7 11:14 .. drwxr-xr-x. 2 informix informix 4096 Apr 7 11:31 .

By the looks of above it seems like ask packages bundled with install are for the different architecture.(???) Removing DISK_ENCRYPTION entry from onconfig and restarting instance init works properly. Have you experienced anything similar? Maybe I overlooked something?

UPDATE - just in case someone gets similar issues. Found that machine notes for this particular release include this info: As root user run the rpm command to remove each package as needed. For example: rpm -ev gskssl64-8.0.50.89 gskcrypt64-8.0.50.89 but packages deployed in the bundle are of version 8.0-50.88.
