WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server, Version 7.1

Preparing a Solaris operating system

To prepare your Solaris system for installation, you must allocate disk space appropriately and apply specific patches. You must complete these steps in order for the system to function properly with the WebSphere® Telecom Web Services Server.

About this task
Comprehensive information about completing the operating system preparation may be found in the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment information center.
  1. Install the en_US locale language patch.
    Note: The product supports en_US only.
  2. After applying the locale patch, make sure that the locale is set to en_US. Use the following commands:
    export LANG=en_US
    export LC_ALL=en_US
    Alternatively, you can set the locale permanently for a particular profile.
  3. Ensure that common commands are recognizable by the operating system. This is done by adding the /usr/ucb/ path to the PATH variable:
    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/ucb/
    Alternatively, you can set the path permanently for a particular profile.
    Note: It is recommended that you add the above mentioned environment variables permanently to the user profile, this will avoid conflict between multiple opened sessions.

    To set the environment variables permanently to a user profile, refer to the topic titled Setting Environment Variables in the Solaris Advanced User's Guide. This document is available on the Sun Solaris Web site.
