Maximum Threads Setting

The HP-UX 11.0 default value for maximum threads per process is 64. This value may be too low for both WebLogic Server and Java server applications in general. If the value is too low, your WebLogic Server may have problems starting up.

Maximum Kernel Setting

BEA recommends that you use the maximum kernel setting for the max_thread_proc and maxusers parameters. Setting maxusers to a higher value increases other machine-wide limits, such as nkthread (the maximum number of kernel threads). The following table shows recommendations for kernel configuration parameters.

QuickStart Does Not Invoke Netscape 4.7x

If the LANG environment variable is set to C on your system (LANG=C) and you select Netscape 4.7.x as your browser, then QuickStart may fail to start. To fix this problem, terminate QuickStart, unset the LANG environment variable (manually or by using a wrapper function), and restart the QuickStart application.

This problem is reported in CR082062.

Apache Server Hangs If ld and libdld.sl Are Obsolete

If the Apache server hangs when you are trying to use the BEA Apache plugin mod_wl_20.so on an HP-UX platform, then you are probably using an obsolete version of ld and/or libdld.sl. Apache binaries require the B.11.32 (or higher) version of ld and libdld.sl.

To determine which version of ld is installed on your system, complete the following procedure:

  1. Enter: ld -V
  2. Enter: what /usr/lib/libdld.sl

    3. The version numbers of ld and libdld.sl are displayed.

  3. Determine which patch you need for your system:
  4. Go to the appropriate IT Resource Center:
  5. Under Maintenance/Support, click Individual Patches.
  6. Scroll down to the following entry:

    7. Retrieve a specific patch by entering the patch name

  7. Enter the patch number in the input field.

Download and install the patch on your system.
