Preparing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 for installation

You might have to complete additional steps to prepare a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 10 system for a WebSphere Application Server installation.

Before you begin

First, complete steps 1-10 in Preparing Linux systems for installation. Those steps are common to any Linux system.

Procedure

Because SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 10 was not available at the time that WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 shipped, there are some special installation considerations to avoid known issues. For example, if you wish to install the product silently, then either set the disableOSPrereqChecking option to "true" in the response file or follow the instructions in the following technote to ensure a successful installation: WebSphere Application Server might not recognize SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 as a supported operating system.

On the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 10 operating system, the xorg-x11-libs package exists, by default. This package contains the following libraries, which are required to properly operate WebSphere Application Server:
  • libXp
  • libXmu
  • libXtst
For more information on this package, see the Novell Web site.

The installver command might display some issues after installing WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 maintenance packs. For more information see The installver.sh command displays several issues.

What to do next

After you complete the step in this topic, proceed to the final step in Preparing Linux systems for installation.
