Issue
When trying to run the RSA Via L&G appliance OS and Oracle updater, the following error occurs on an RHEL5 appliance when using an updater that was made for RHEL not SLES .:

Unsupported OS to patch ... OS Patching is only available on SLES appliances.

The installation script shows a slightly different message:
Unsupported OS to patch ... OS Patching is only available on RSA appliances
Cause
There are three reasons for this messaging to display:
  1. The wrong rsaimg_updater installation script is running;
  2. There is more than one rsaimg_updater installation script; or
  3. The rsaimg_updater installation script is in the wrong location.
Resolution
As root, make sure the current rsaimg_updater is located in the correct directory and all other versions are removed.
  1. While logged in as root, run this command to find all rsaimg_updater scripts:
find  /  -name  rsaimg_updater
  1. Make sure there is a copy of the updater in /etc/init.d:
/etc/init.d/rsaimg_updater
  1. Delete or rename any others files named 'rsaing_updater'
  2. Verify that the file  /etc/init.d/rsaimg_updater   is the correct updated file from the expanded installer and not an older one.  
  3.  If /etc/init.d/rsaimg_updater is not the correct version, retrieve the file from the installer and copy it to /etc/init.d.

 
Notes
This has been seen previously when an older updater had been used.
