Solaris: Preparing your operating system
Prepare the operating system to ensure a successful installation.
About this task
Several Solaris kernel
values are typically too small for the messaging requirements of HCL. Starting the internal JMS server or client with
insufficient kernel resources produces a First Failure Support Technology (FFST) file in the /var/errors
directory. Before you install HCL, review the server configuration.
Procedure
-
These values are are a starting point for messaging in HCL only. If your system has other applications that are
installed, the value requirements are likely different.
For example, if values that are already set are higher than the settings listed here, do not change the values. Be sure to check the requirements that are made on
/etc/system
by other already-installed applications before you alter existing values.- Type the sysdef -i command to review the configuration.

Web Content Manager only: Complete the following steps
to remove any file size limits:
Use the ulimit -f command to set the maximum size of files that can be created. Set this value to at least the size of the largest file you would upload to the content server. The ulimit -f unlimited command removes any limit on file size.
