This topic describes how to prepare Solaris systems for the installation of IBM WebSphere Application Server, Version 6 products.

Before you begin

Why and when to perform this task

Steps for this task

  1. Optional: Configure Hummingbird Exceed to disable Automatic Font Substitution.

    Font changes occur when using the Hummingbird Exceed package and invoke the Profile Creation wizard. When you use the Hummingbird Exceed package to connect to a machine running the Solaris operating system, and then invoke the Profile Creation wizard, some font sizes and styles display differently than when doing the same operation from the native Solaris display.

    The font sizes and style changes are based on the font selections in the bundled Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

    To prevent the various font changes, configure Hummingbird Exceed to disable Automatic Font Substitution:

    1. From the Hummingbird Exceed user interface, click Xconfig > Font > Font Database > Disable ( Automatic Font Substitution).
    2. Click OK.
    3. Restart the Hummingbird Exceed package.
  2. Provide adequate disk space.
    Attention:
    200 MB for the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/plugins directory
    35 MB for the /opt/ibm/gsk7 directory
