Additional Notes:

• When using Oracle, Programmer/2000 Pro*C/C++ version 2.2.3.0.0 is required to build the BEA Tuxedo University sample applications.

• ATMI users need a C, C++, or COBOL compiler.

• CORBA C++ users need a C++ compiler and linker.

• CORBA Java IDL users need a C preprocessor. On UNIX systems, the C preprocessor comes with the system.

• For BEA Tuxedo 56-bit or 128-bit encryption:

  • Link-level encryption (LLE) is available for BEA Tuxedo client (/WS) connections to the BEA Tuxedo workstation listener (WSL) or workstation handler (WSH). Secure sockets layer (SSL) is not supported for encryption of these connections and for connections between machines and domains.

  • The BEA Tuxedo 8.0 Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) listener (ISL) and IIOP handler (ISH) support SSL 3.0 for IIOP connections.

  • The BEA Tuxedo 8.0 CORBA C++ and CORBA Java clients support SSL 3.0. SSL connectivity between these clients, and the BEA Tuxedo ISL/ISH has been certified.

• To support certificate-based authentication when using SSL, BEA Tuxedo provides an LDAP-based certificate retrieval mechanism. This retrieval mechanism has been certified for use with the LDAP Directory server included with Netscape Enterprise Server.

Network Requirements for Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1

TCP/IP using the Sockets network interface.

Disk Space Requirements for Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1

The disk space requirements for installation on Compaq Tru64 UNIX on Alpha systems depends on which install set and components you select during the installation. Use the estimates in the following table as guidelines. These requirements are approximate and have been rounded up to the nearest megabyte (MB).

 

Component	Disk Space Requirement
Full install set: all BEA Tuxedo servers, clients and the BEA Tuxedo Administration Console; encryption software space not included	87 MB
Server install set: servers only; encryption software space not included	All servers: 69 MB ATMI server only: 22 MB CORBA C++ server only: 43 MB Jolt server only: 2 MB
Client install set: clients only; encryption software space not included	All clients: 29 MB /WS client only: 8 MB CORBA C++ client only: 20 MB CORBA Java client only: 23 MB Jolt client only: 2 MB
Jolt client install set: BEA Jolt clients only; encryption software space not included	Jolt client: 2 MB
Administration: BEA Tuxedo Administration Console (GUI)	12 MB
Encryption software: 56-bit and 128-bit	2 MB for LLE only on ATMI server or /WS client system 4 MB for LLE and SSL

 

Mounting and Unmounting the CD for Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1

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/rzunit#c /cdrom

In the mount command line, unit# is the unit number of your CD-ROM drive; cdrom (literal) is the mounting point.

In almost all cases, the unit number of the CD-ROM 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 commands:

su
file /dev/rrz*c

The output identifies the CD-ROM drive as an RRD disk. The unit number of the drive is in the far 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

Tunable Parameters for Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1

You probably need to reconfigure the Tru64 UNIX kernel before running BEA Tuxedo software, because the default values of some tunable parameters are too low.

To adjust the tunable parameters, follow these steps:

1. Determine whether the current values are adequate.

   For instructions about determining whether the current tunable parameter values are adequate, see IPC Resource Configuration on a UNIX System and Checking IPC Requirements.

2. Reset the tunable parameters as necessary.

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

The following table shows the default settings for the parameters and the settings used for the BEA Tuxedo University sample applications. Use these settings as a starting point, but keep in mind that your applications may require different settings.

 

Table A-1 University Sample Application Default Settings for Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1

Compaq Tru64 UNIX Name	Traditional Name	Default Setting	Setting for University Sample Applications
semmns	SEMMNS	60	(SEMMNI*2)
semmni	SEMMNI	10	16
semmsl	SEMMSL	25	25
semume	SEMUME	10	10
semopm		10	10
semvmx		32767	32767
semaem		16384	16384
msgmni	MSGMNI	50	84
msgmax	MSGMAX	8192	8192
msgmnb	MSGMNB	16384	16384
msgtql	MSGTQL	40	40
maxusers	maxusers	varies	32
maxproc	NPROC	20+8*maxusers	32-72 per user
maxuprc	MAXUP	64	(NPROC * 9) / 10

 

The tunable parameters currently set on your system reside in the kernel configuration file located in the /sys/conf directory (/sys/conf/machine_name). This file typically has the same name as the machine (node) name.

To display the parameters, log in as user root and enter /usr/bin/x11/dxkerneltuner at the command prompt.

To change the value of a tunable parameter, follow the instructions for DMCONFIG(5) in the File Formats, Data Descriptions, MIBs, and System Processes Reference.

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

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

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.

Tunable Parameters for Solaris 8 (32-Bit) SPARC

You probably need to reconfigure the Solaris kernel before running BEA Tuxedo 8.0 software because the default values of some tunable parameters are too low.

To adjust the tunable parameters, follow these steps:

1. Determine whether the current values are adequate.

   For instructions about determining whether the current tunable parameter values are adequate, see IPC Resource Configuration on a UNIX System and Checking IPC Requirements.

2. Change the tunable parameters as necessary.

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

The following table shows the default settings for the parameters and the settings used for the BEA Tuxedo University sample applications. Use these settings as a starting point, but keep in mind that your applications may require different settings.
