Hey Guys,

Just installed 3.6p1 on RHEL 6.3 and got the following error when trying to run a backup.

Subroutine AUTOLOAD redefined at
/</opt/netapp/scServer3.6p1/snapcreator>Net/SSLeay.pm line 651 (#1)
(W redefine) You redefined a subroutine. To suppress this warning, say

        {
        no warnings 'redefine';
        eval "sub name { ... }";
        }

    (F) The module you tried to load failed to load a dynamic extension. This
    may either mean that you upgraded your version of perl to one that is
    incompatible with your old dynamic extensions (which is known to happen
    between major versions of perl), or (more likely) that your dynamic
    extension was built against an older version of the library that is
    installed on your system. You may need to rebuild your old dynamic
    extensions.

Uncaught exception from user code:

Snap Creator does not include ssl libraries we are dependent on, therefore customer must install openssl and ensure symlinks are created correctly (see below).

The reason is simply we dynamically link so customers can update SSL versions of openssl for important security fixes without being dependent on SC versions.

The requirements for HTTPS for Linux/Unix are as follows:

1) openssl package (yum install openssl)

2) SSL symlinks

Make sure the following symlinks are located under /usr/lib oder /usr/lib64 (depending on if OS is 64bit or not)

libssl.so.6

libcrypto.so.6

If the symlinks dont exist please cd to /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 and run following command to link them. Make sure what we are linking to is installed, again pre-requisite is openssl so it should be installed first.

ln -sf libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.6

ln -sf libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.6

#########If you still have issues, you could try downloading this Net SSLeay packages from here, but I don't see a need for it, yet#############
