N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Installation Guide

Issues During Installation on Solaris OS, Red Hat Linux, and IBM AIX

Warning When Installing the JRE on IBM AIX

If the installation script detects any JRE instances already installed in the common directory on an AIX machine, the following warning appears:


WARNING: Overwriting the JRE can result in installation 
problems when libraries from this JRE are cached by the 
OS. If you have used, or are running another CenterRun 
module that uses this JRE, you should stop that other 
module, and run /usr/sbin/slibclean as root.

     Do you wish to continue installation? 
(default: y) [y,n] 

When a JRE is installed on an AIX machine, AIX caches native libraries from the JRE in memory. When these libraries are cached, they are locked on disk. Trying to install a new JRE over these locked libraries will create errors.

Do not install a new version of the JRE. When prompted to install the JRE, choose no, and then provide a path to the JRE that is already installed on the machine.

ProcedureHow to Stop an Application on a Solaris OS System

    % cr_app stop
    

    app is the application to stop.
