Known Issues

Smart Update Fails: On a Solaris/AMD64 configuration, you cannot upgrade your configuration from a pre-SP5 version of WebLogic Platform 8.1 to WebLogic Platform 8.1 SP5 by using the Smart Update tool. To upgrade to 8.1 SP5 on a Solaris/AMD64 configuration, use the upgrade installer, instead.

For more information about known issues with any components of this release, see the appropriate Release Notes document. For a complete list of Release Notes supporting WebLogic Platform 8.1, see:

  1. Go to the BEA downloads site:

    2. http://commerce.bea.com/showproduct.jsp?family=WLP&major=8.1&minor=5

  2. For WebLogic Platform 8.1 SP5, select "Sun Solaris (10, AMD64)" as your operating system, and download the WebLogic Platform package installer.

Configuring Your WebLogic Platform Installation for Multi-Zone Operation

WebLogic Platform can be run in multiple zones of a Solaris 10 system, as long as the product is installed and configured to accommodate the Solaris Zones feature. To prepare your WebLogic Platform installation to accommodate Solaris Zones, complete the following procedure:

  1. During the installation of WebLogic Platform, specify a directory to which all zones will have access.

    2. Note: BEA strongly recommends this step so you can avoid installing WebLogic Platform in the default root file system. If WebLogic Platform is installed in the default root, all zones will require write access to root and such widespread write access is not recommended.

  2. Define a separate WebLogic Platform domain for each zone so that the log files for each zone can go to a different location. If you choose, you can also configure a cluster to work across multiple zones as long as you provide read, write, and execute permissions to the domain directory to all the local zones participating in the cluster. For more information, see "Overview of WebLogic Server Domains" in Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server:
