Known Issues

• Process Data Segment: The default maximum size of the Process Data Segment, 128 MB, is insufficient. BEA recommends increasing the default maximum size to at least 256 MB or, for a dedicated Web server, 1 GB. For example:

$ ulimit -d 1048576

• Downgrade issue: Before using the Weblogic Server 8.1 SP4 upgrade installer (pj_server814_upgrade_generic.jar), make a backup copy of your WebLogic Server 8.1 SP1 installation, in case you later need to restore your upgraded installation to SP1.

Go to the following HP download site:

http://www.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

Download and install the following HP Tru64 UNIX Patch Kit:
T64V51AB24AS0006-20031031.tar

OS Patches for HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B

One patch is required for this configuration. To download and install it, complete the following procedure:

Note: Requires HP Tru64 UNIX with 5.1B with PK3 installed.

Go to the following HP download site:

Download and install the following HP Tru64 UNIX Patch Kit:
T64V51BB24AS0003-20030929.tar

Installing the HP Tru64 SDK

Go to the HP Tru64 SDK download page:

http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/download/

Download one of the following kits:
• HP Tru64 SDK 1.4.2-4 for Alpha
• HP Tru64 SDK 1.4.2-4.p2 for Alpha
Install the kit.

Downloading and Installing WebLogic Server

Note: If you are planning to run WebLogic Portal with WebLogic Server, do not perform the procedure in this section. See Downloading and Installing WebLogic Portal.

To download and install WebLogic Server, complete the following procedure:

Go to the BEA downloads site: http://commerce.bea.com/index.jsp.
Download the following items:
• WebLogic Server 8.1 SP4 installer for HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B-2 on Alpha configuration: pj_server814_generic.jar
• Supplementary JAR file for the Tru64/Alpha platform: wls814_tru64_supp.jar
Install WebLogic Server 8.1 SP4 by completing the console-mode installation procedure for .jar files available in Installing BEA WebLogic Platform at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13196_01/platform/docs81/install/console.html.
Set and export the WL_HOME variable to point to the directory in which WebLogic Server is installed. For example:

$ export WL_HOME=/your_installation_directory/weblogic81

Go to the WL_HOME/server/lib directory and apply the supplementary JAR file:

$ cd $WL_HOME/server/lib
$ jar -xvf wls814_tru64_supp.jar

Revise the commEnv.sh and startWLS.sh scripts, as follows:
• In commEnv.sh:

a. Remove the MaxPermSize parameter from the HP block. (The MaxPermSize option is not recognized by the Tru64 1.4.2_4 SDK.)

b. Append the appropriate jDriver location to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. For example, to make this change for the 920 jDriver, locate the following section of code:

OSF1)

  if [ -n "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ]; then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix:

  else

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix

  fi

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
;;

Replace this section with the following code:

OSF1)

  if [ -n "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ]; then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix:${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix/oci920_8

  else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix:${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix/oci920_8

  fi

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
;;

• In startWLS.sh:

Append the appropriate jDriver location to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, as described in the instructions for revising the commEnv.sh file. See the previous step (6b).

Set the following execution modes on the weblogic81/server/bin and weblogic81/server/lib directories:

$ chmod +x $WL_HOME/server/bin/*
$ chmod -R +x $WL_HOME/server/lib/tru64unix/*

You have now finished installing WebLogic Server 8.1 SP4.

Downloading and Installing WebLogic Portal

Note: If you are planning to run WebLogic Server only (that is, WebLogic Server without WebLogic Portal), do not complete the procedure in this section. See Downloading and Installing WebLogic Server.

To download and install WebLogic Portal, complete the following procedure:

Go to the BEA downloads site: http://commerce.bea.com/index.jsp.
Download the following items:
• WebLogic Platform 8.1 SP4 installer for HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B-2 on Alpha configuration: pj_platform814_generic.jar
• Supplementary JAR file for the Tru64/Alpha platform: wls814_tru64_supp.jar
Install WebLogic Server and WebLogic Portal by completing the console-mode installation procedure for .jar files as described in Installing WebLogic Platform at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13196_01/platform/docs81/install/console.html

Note: When prompted, choose a custom installation and select the WebLogic Server and WebLogic Portal components only.

Set and export the WL_HOME variable to point to the directory in which WebLogic Server is installed. For example:

$ export WL_HOME=/your_installation_directory/weblogic81

Go to the WL_HOME/server/lib directory and apply the supplementary JAR file:

$ cd $WL_HOME/server/lib
$ jar -xvf wls814_tru64_supp.jar

Revise the commEnv.sh and startWLS.sh scripts, as follows:
• In commEnv.sh:

a. Remove the MaxPermSize parameter from the HP block. (The MaxPermSize option is not recognized by the Tru64 1.4.2_4 SDK.)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix:

  else

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix

  fi

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
;;

Replace this section with the following code:

OSF1)

  if [ -n "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ]; then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix:${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix/oci920_8

  else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix:${WL_HOME}/server/lib/tru64unix/oci920_8

  fi

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
;;

• In startWLS.sh:

Append the appropriate jDriver location to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, as described in the instructions for revising the commEnv.sh file. See the previous step (6b).

Set the following execution modes on the weblogic81/server/bin and weblogic81/server/lib directories:

$ chmod +x $WL_HOME/server/bin/*
$ chmod -R +x $WL_HOME/server/lib/tru64unix/*

You have now finished installing WebLogic Server and WebLogic Portal 8.1 SP4.
