Appendix A
Rational Rose - Operating System Runtime and/or Patch Requirements The requirements below are in relation to the following platforms (operating system versions):
- HP-UX 10.20 (ACE) and 11.00
- Sun Solaris 2.6, 2.7 (Solaris 7), and 2.8 (Solaris 8)
Note: If you are currently using Rose and your installed operating system patches are currently meeting your needs, we strongly recommend that you not change your installed patches. The following patches are recommended for new customers and customers experiencing problems. If you upgrade your patches, we recommend that you use the following patch versions. While we encourage you to contact the appropriate vendor to determine if a patch has been superseded, we cannot guarantee release compatibility with a patch version we have not yet tested. For information regarding the latest patch versions tested or required with this release, visit the Rational web site at http://www.rational.com/support.
Contact Rational Technical Support if you encounter any compatibility difficulties after installing a patch which supersedes the following patches.
HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00 Patch Requirements and DescriptionsTable 12 summarizes the patch requirements for HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00.
It is important to use PHSS_23823 as Rose for UNIX will not start (display) if an earlier version of this patch is installed (that is, PHSS_21493).
If it is necessary to have a Motif Xlib runtime patch prior to PHSS_23823 and you encounter this issue, refer to the following instructions to workaround this problem:
- 1 Make sure your Rose process is no longer running. (Use ps to determine if the process is running, and "kill -TERM [pid]" if it is necessary to kill the process.)
- 2 As the owner of these files, enter the following commands:
cdrational_dir/releases/rose.I.J.K/install/patches/hppa_hpux/hp11
cp libX11.3rational_dir/releases/rose.I.J.K/hppa_hpux/hp11/lib/.
chmod 555rational_dir/releases/rose.I.J.K/hppa_hpux/hp11/lib/libX11.3.- 3 Run rose_cleanup.
- 4 Run rose.
The HP-UX patches are available at:
- http://us-support.external.hp.com (US, Canada, Asia-Pacific and Latin-America)
- http://europe-support.external.hp.com (Europe)
- ftp://us-ffs.external.hp.com ("anonymous" FTP)
Solaris Patch Requirements and DescriptionsNote: Some patches are required on the server (the computer from which Rose is launched) and the client (the computer that is used to display Rose), and some are required only on the client. In some cases, the server and client are the same computer, but often several users login to one server (to run the application) and have their own displays which serve as their client. The following Sun Solaris patch recommendations are specific to Sun Solaris servers and clients. Table 13 summarizes the server and client patches. Table 14 summarizes the client patches.
The Solaris patches are available at:
The Sun Solaris patches may not be available publicly.
The following may be necessary to obtain some of the Solaris patches listed above:
- You must have maintenance support with Sun; or
- The system must be under warranty; or
- You must be willing to pay for a patch to receive it.
Detecting a Graphics Card
How to detect a graphics card on a Sun Solaris computer:
/dev/fbs/m640 - PGX graphics card
/dev/fbs/afb* - Elite3D graphics card
/dev/fbs/ffb* - Creator/Creator3D graphics card
/dev/fbs/cgsix* - GX graphics card
/dev/fbs/leo* - ZX graphics card
/dev/fbs/sx* - SX graphics card
Errors Encountered if Correct Sun Solaris Runtime Not Installed
A user will encounter the following error if the appropriate Sun Solaris runtime patches are not installed:
Displaying on Ultrabook, Using PGX Graphics Card
A CDE crash may occur when displaying Rose for UNIX/Linux on a Ultrabook using a PGX Graphics Card, if Sun Solaris patch 105362-26 is installed.
If using a PGX Graphics Card, we recommend that Sun Solaris patch 105362-20 be installed as this is the latest version tested and determined to be compatible with this release.
If you encounter the CDE crash, uninstall patch 105362-26 and if possible install 105362-20. If Sun Solaris patch 105362-20 is not installed, the following may occur:
- GUI hanging issues
- Paint problems (that is, black/white regions may appear in menus, dialog boxes, toolbars, and so on)
If you uninstall patch 105362-26 and encounter any of the issues described above, or if patch 105362-20 is not available, contact Rational Technical Support .
Support for the PGX32 Add-on Board
If your client computer has the PGX32 add-on board (based on the Permedia 2 chip), you need to install the drivers and patches for this card. You cannot see the device in the /dev/fbs directory unless the drivers are installed.
Contact Rational Technical Support if you require information in relation to the Sun Solaris drivers or patches for the PGX32 add-on board.
