Mounting and Unmounting the CD

Mounting a CD requires the type CDFS. Because CDFS is a configurable kernel option, the following line must exist in the system configuration file:

options CDFS

If the system configuration file does not contain this line, modify the file and then rebuild the kernel.

To mount a CD, enter the following commands:

su
mkdir /cdrom
/usr/sbin/mount -r -t cdfs -o noversion /dev/rz unit#c /cdrom

where unit# is the unit number of your CD drive.

In almost all cases, the unit number of the CD drive on a new system is 4 (that is, /dev/rz4c). However, to ensure that you have the correct unit number of the drive, enter the following:

su
file /dev/rrz*c

The output identifies the CD drive as an RRD disk. The unit number of the drive is in the left column. For example:

/dev/rrz4c: character special (8/4098) SCSI #0 RRD43 disk #32 (SCSI ID #4)

To unmount the CD, enter the following command:

umount /cdrom

where cdrom is the mounting point.

Tuning Parameters

You probably need to reconfigure the Tru64 UNIX kernel before running WebLogic Enterprise software, because the default values of some tuning parameters are too low.

To adjust the tuning parameters, proceed as follows:

  1. Determine whether the current values are adequate.

    For instructions about determining whether the current tuning parameter values are adequate, refer to "Verifying IPC Requirements" on page 5-17.

  2. Reset the tuning parameters as necessary.

    For instructions about reconfiguring, rebuilding, and rebooting, see the following documentation from Compaq: the doconfig(8) man page and the BEA WebLogic Enterprise System Tuning and Performance Management manual.

Table 6-4 shows the default settings for the parameters and the settings used for the University sample applications. Use these settings as a starting point; however, your applications may require different settings.

Note: The parameters currently set on your system are located in /sys/conf/<systemname>. To display the parameters, log in as root and enter /usr/bin/x11/dxkerneltuner at the command prompt.

To determine the current value of a tunable parameter, examine the kernel configuration file located in the /sys/conf directory. This file typically has the same name as the node (machine) name.

To change the value of a tunable parameter, follow the instructions on the dmconfig man page.

To specify the value of a parameter that was previously unspecified, add a line such as the following to the kernel configuration file:

semmni 256

where semmni is the name of the parameter and 256 is its value.

Mounting and Unmounting the CD

To mount a CD, examine the file /etc/filesystems to determine whether there is a standard place in which to mount a CD. If there is, enter the mount command and specify the directory named in the /etc/filesystems entry.

For example, to mount a CD if /etc/filesystems contains an entry that specifies /cd as the mount point for CDs, enter:

su
/etc/mount /cd

If /etc/filesystems does not contain a CD entry, enter:

su
mkdir /cd
/etc/mount -v cdrfs -r
cd_device /cd

where cd_device is the name of the CD device file, typically /dev/cd0.

Alternatively, you can use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to perform the mount. To use SMIT, enter:

smit mount

To unmount the CD, enter the following command:

umount /cdrom

where cdrom is the mounting point.

Tuning Parameters

No IPC configuration is required for AIX Release 4.3.4. To change the value of a kernel tuning parameter (maxuproc only), do the following:

  1. Acquire superuser privileges.

  2. Determine the values of all tuning parameters.

  3. Change the parameter's value.

  4. Reboot the system.

Mounting and Unmounting the CD

To mount a CD, execute the following from the command line:

su
mkdir /cdrom1
mount -F cdfs -r -o nmconv=m cd-device /cdrom1

To determine the value of cd-device, execute:

devattr cdrom1 bdevice

You can also mount a CD from the Desktop environment. From the UnixWare Desktop window, open the Disks-etc Folder Window by double-clicking on the Disks-etc icon. Then, from the Disks-etc window double-click on the cdrom1 icon, which mounts the CD and displays its contents in the /cdrom1 Folder Window. When you close the /cdrom1 Folder Window, the CD is automatically unmounted.

UnixWare 7 typically defines /var/tmp as an in-memory file system. Because /var/tmp is used by the install script to unspool packages from the CD you should set (and export) TMPDIR to point to a directory with enough free space to accommodate the unspooling.

To share (export) a CD so that it can be accessed as a shared file system using NFS, execute:

su
share -o ro mount-point

where mount-point is the full pathname of the directory where the CD is mounted. The directory /cdrom1 is the standard mount point for a CD. After a CD has been shared and mounted, a remote system can access the CD by mounting it as an NFS file system. For example, on another UnixWare system the appropriate commands are:

su
mkdir /cdrom1
mount -F nfs server:/cdrom1 /cdrom1

where server is the node name of the UnixWare system with the directly-connected CD-ROM device.

Tuning Parameters

You may need to reconfigure the UnixWare kernel before running the WebLogic Enterprise system because the default values of some IPC parameters are too low. For instructions about reconfiguring, rebuilding, and rebooting UnixWare, see UnixWare System Performance Administration and the idtune(1) and idbuild(1) entries in a UNIX system reference manual. You may need to increase the parameters listed in Table 6-15.

    /etc/conf/bin/idtune -g param

    The output of idtune lists current, default, minimum, and maximum valid values.

  3. Change the parameter's value:

    /etc/conf/bin/idtune param new-value

  4. If idtune fails because new-value exceeds the maximum allowed value, you must increase the maximum. (The maximum values of some parameters are set unnecessarily low in some releases of UnixWare.) To do this, edit:

     /etc/conf/mtune.d/type

where type is shm, sem, or msg. Change the maximum value (in the last column) to the desired maximum.

  1. Rebuild the operating system and reboot:

    /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B
    cd /
    shutdown -y -g0 -i6

  2. Execute idtune again and supply the desired new-value.

  3. Run idbuild to build a new kernel:

    /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B
    cd /
    shutdown -y -g0 -i6

  4. Reboot your system.

 


Sun Microsystems Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7 (32-Bit) SPARC

Solaris SPARC 7 (32-bit) with patch 106327-06.

C/C++ compilers

The following compilers are required are required on both Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7, but only for a WebLogic Enterprise development environment.

Sun Microsystems, Inc. Workshop Compiler C++ 5.0 Standard mode and Compatibility mode, plus patches 107289-03, 107357-05, 107311-09. While Sun's patches are cumulative, they are only cumulative for a given component, and each of these three patches pertains to a different component:

  • 107289-03 is for the C compiler

  • 107357-05 is for "BE" "build environment"

  • 107311-09 is for the C++ compiler

Java 2 Software Development Kit (SDK) for the development environment

Java 2 SDK 1.2.2_05 for Solaris.

Java 2 JRE for the run-time environment

JRE 1.2.2_05. This is needed for the BEA WebLogic EJB Deployer.

Non-BEA CORBA Java client

Java 2 SDK 1.2 IDL ORB (run time).

Internet browsers for the BEA Administration Console

Netscape 4.61.

Netscape 4.7.

Database for CORBA C++ applications

Oracle 7.3.4 on Solaris 2.6.

Oracle 8.1.5, also known as Oracle 8i, on Solaris 7.

Database for CORBA Java and J2EE applications

Oracle 7.3.4 (Type 2) on Solaris 2.6; no XA.

Oracle 8.1.5, also known as Oracle 8i, supports XA, on Solaris 7.

JDBC drivers

jdbcKona/Oracle 7.3.4 (Type 2), no XA.

WebLogic Enterprise JDBC/XA for Oracle 8.1.5, also known as Oracle 8i (Type 2); supports XA.

SSL certificate authorities

Verisign.

Netscape.

LDAP directory server

Netscape Enterprise Server.

Additional Notes

Network Requirements

TCP/IP using the TLI network interface.

Disk Space Requirements

The disk space requirements for installation on Solaris systems depends on which components you select during the installation, and whether other WebLogic Enterprise 5.1 components have been installed previously. Use the estimates in Table 6-17 as guidelines. These requirements are approximate and have been rounded up to the nearest megabyte (MB).

Table 6-17 Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7 (32-Bit) Disk Space Requirements

Mounting and Unmounting the CD

The Solaris Volume Management software automatically mounts CDs on /cdrom/cdrom0/s0.

It is not necessary to unmount CDs on Solaris systems. However, it is necessary to issue a command to open the CD reader.

To open the CD reader, cd to root and enter eject.

Tuning Parameters

You probably need to reconfigure the Solaris kernel before running BEA WebLogic Enterprise software, because the default values of some tuning parameters are too low.

To adjust the tuning parameters, proceed as follows:

  1. Determine whether the current values are adequate.

    For instructions about determining whether the current tuning parameter values are adequate, refer to "Verifying IPC Requirements" on page 4-17.

  2. Reset the tuning parameters as necessary.

    Information regarding kernel configuration is provided in the Solaris systune(1M) man page.

Table 6-18 shows the default settings for the parameters and the settings used for the University sample applications. Use these settings as a starting point; however, your applications may require different settings.

The parameters currently set on your system are located in /etc/<systemname>.
