j. Ensure perl is available at /opt/perl/bin/perl
If you intend to use the:
• wlmaudit utility to display audit reports
• wlmoradc or smooth utilities from the WLM Oracle Database Toolkit (ODBTK)
• expsmooth utility from the WLM BEA WebLogic Server Toolkit (WebLogicTK)
• wlmcert utility and secure network communications
and perl is not available at /opt/perl/bin/perl:
• If perl is not already installed, add it to your depot from the quarterly Application
Release (AR) media using the following swcopy line:
# swcopy -s mount_path perl \* @ /tmp/wlm_depot
where mount_path is the path to the quarterly AR media.
• If perl is installed, but in a location other than /opt/perl/bin/perl, ensure there is a
symbolic link from /opt/perl/bin/perl to your perl.
k. Locate and mount the WLM installation media. For assistance, see mount_cdfs(1M), or
use SAM, SMH, or the SD-UX Interactive User Interface for swcopy, which you can
use to “find” the media.
l. Add WLM (product B8843CA) to the depot.
NOTE: The WLM bundle B8843CA requires a customer_id/codeword pair to unlock
it from the quarterly AR media. Purchase of WLM entitles you to this codeword, which
can be found on the Software Certificate you received from HP. The WLM codeword
is needed to complete the next step.
Use a line similar to the following to add WLM to your depot:
# /usr/sbin/swcopy -x customer_id=cust_id \
-x codeword=codeword \
-s mount_path \
B8843CA @ depot_path
where mount_path is the path to the media and depot_path is the same fully specified
depot as in previous steps. For example:
# swcopy -x customer_id=xyzCorp -x codeword=123456789101bcdf \
-s /cdrom B8843CA @ /tmp/wlm_depot
m. Verify the depot:
# swverify -d \* @ depot_path
where depot_path is a fully specified pathname. For example:
# swverify -d \* @ /tmp/wlm_depot
6. Disable PRM from starting automatically
If you have previously installed WLM or PRM, ensure that PRM is disabled from starting
automatically by setting the variable PRM_CONFIG to 0 in the file /etc/rc.config.d/prm:
PRM_CONFIG=0
7. (Optional) Disable PRM’s remote configuration daemon
The PRM remote configuration daemon is not useful with WLM. It need not be started. It
is recommended that it be disabled.
