BEA Tuxedo 8.0 Platform Data Sheets
This topic includes the following sections:
Supported Platforms
The following table lists the platforms on which the BEA Tuxedo system is supported for Release 8.0.
A data sheet is provided for each platform. Each data sheet includes the following platform-specific information:
Install Sets
An install set is a bundle of product software components related by function. BEA Tuxedo 8.0 offers the following four install sets:
In addition to selecting an install set during a BEA Tuxedo 8.0 installation, a user can further customize the installation by deselecting (deleting) one or more software components from the install set.
SSL and LLE are available with two levels of encryption: 56-bit and 128-bit. Licenses for the 128-bit client versions of SSL and LLE are available in the United States and Canada. With proper authorization, customers outside the United States and Canada may also acquire licenses with 128-bit encryption enabled. For details, see the BEA Tuxedo Release Notes.
Note: BEA Jolt 8.0 supports the same platforms that are supported by BEA Tuxedo 8.0.

Hardware Requirements for Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1
Software Requirements for Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1
Additional Notes:
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).
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: 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: 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: To unmount the CD, enter the following command: 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:
su
mkdir /cdrom
/usr/sbin/mount -r -t cdfs -o noversion /dev/rzunit#c /cdromsu
file /dev/rrz*c/dev/rrz4c: character special (8/4098) SCSI #0 RRD43 disk #32 (SCSI ID #4)
umount /cdrom
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.
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: Here semmni is the name of the parameter and 256 is its value.
semmni 256

Mounting and Unmounting the CD for HP-UX 11.0 (32-Bit) To mount a CD, enter the following commands: Here cdrom_device is listed in the output of the ioscan -f -n command; cdrom (literal) is the mounting point. To unmount the CD, enter the following command: umount /cdrom Tunable Parameters for HP-UX 11.0 (32-Bit) You probably need to reconfigure the HP-UX 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:
su
mkdir /cdrom
mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cdrom_device /cdrom
The following table lists the default settings for the parameters and the settings used for the University sample applications. Use these settings as a starting point, but keep in mind that your applications may require different settings.
The tunable parameters currently set on your system are in the kernel configuration file tune.h located in the /stand/build directory (/stand/build/tune.h).

Disk Space Requirements for IBM AIX 4.3.3 (32-bit)
The disk space requirements for installation on an IBM AIX 4.3.3 system 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).
Tunable Parameter No IPC configuration is required for AIX. To change the value of a kernel tuning parameter (maxuproc only):
Mounting and Unmounting the CD for AIX 4.3.3 (32-Bit)
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 when an entry in /etc/filesystems specifies /cd as the mount point, enter:
su
/etc/mount /cd
If /etc/fileystems does not contain a CD entry, enter:
su
mkdir /cd
/etc/mount -v cdrfs -r cd_device /cd
In the latter command line, cd_device represents 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 the following:
smit mount
To unmount the CD, enter the following command:
unmount /cdrom
In this command line cdrom represents the mount point.

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