4. Determine what patches are needed
a. Check the following data to determine what patches are suggested for WLM:
If you plan to use the WLM configuration wizard, the wlmgui command, or wlminfo’s
interactive mode GUI (-i), all of which depend on Java (Java Runtime Environment version
1.5 or later is required), refer to the following location for patch information:
http://www.hp.com/go/java
In addition, running these utilities with PRM-based configurations requires PRM C.03.00
or later.
On HP-UX 11i v1, apply patch PHCO_29109 to address a pthread library issue.
