Run this:
echo “Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)” > ‘/etc/redhat-release’
I had to run the echo command as root. Sudo didn’t work for some reason, so I did “sudo su”.
You may also have to install dmidecode (it wasn’t included in our minimal centos image):
sudo yum install dmidecode -y
I now have a JDS up and running on centos. Those two commands were the only special prep the server required.
