Requirements for Using the WebLogic 9 Plug-In

The WebLogic 9 plug-in supports the WebLogic Server Version 9.1 on the following platforms.

• Solaris 9 for SPARC and x86

• Solaris 10 for x86

• RedHat Linux AS 3.0

• RedHat Linux 4.0

• SuSE Linux 9.0

Any host on which you intend to deploy the WebLogic 9 plug-in must meet the following requirements. These requirements represent minimum prerequisites for installation.

Disk space

On UNIX systems, approximately 375 Mbytes free storage space for the installed product.

Approximately 1 Gbyte of temporary storage space is required by the installer in the /var/tmp directory. If no space exists in the /var/tmp folder, use the altTempDir component variable to create an alternate temporary directory. See How to Install the WebLogic Software for more information.

RAM

512 Mbytes (minimum); 1 Gbyte (recommended)

Java run-time environment(JRE)

The WebLogic Server installation program requires a JRE to run. The following requirements are summarized from the BEA's list of supported configurations. You can find the complete list on BEA's WebLogic 9.1 product documentation website.

If your platform uses the .bin binary installer, a JRE is not required.

Table 1–1 JRE Requirements

	Java SDK already installed	Included in Installation
RedHat Linux		Sun Java 2 SDK 1.50_04
Solaris x86	Sun Java 2 SDK 1.5.0_04
Solaris SPARC		Sun Java SDK 1.5.0_04

Table 1–2 WebLogic Install Media Requirements

	Binary Installer	JAR Installer
RedHat Linux	X
SuSe Linux	X
Solaris x86		X
Solaris SPARC	X

Your configurations might require additional resources depending on the applications that are installed. For BEA's WebLogic requirements, see the WebLogic Platform 9.1 Supported Configurations web page.
