java crashes on hp-ux 11.23

[dictum9]

This is on hp-ux 11.23
Not sure how to check the version.

./java -version
Illegal instruction(coredump)

Here is the software installed on it:


tmp#: swlist | grep -i java
B9788AA 1.3.1.17.00 Java2 1.3 SDK for HP-UX
B9789AA 1.3.1.15.01 Java2 1.3 RTE for HP-UX
T1456AA 1.4.2.07.02 Java2 1.4 SDK for HP-UX
T1456AAaddon 1.4.2.07.02 Java2 1.4 SDK -AA addon for HP-UX
T1457AA 1.4.2.07.02 Java2 1.4 RTE for HP-UX
T1457AAaddon 1.4.2.07.02 Java2 1.4 RTE -AA addon for HP-UX
Jdk13 1.3.1.15.01 Java2 1.3 SDK




Here is how it should work, an identical machine:

#: ./java -version
java version "1.5.0.02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0.02-_14_oct_2005_17_51) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0.02 jinteg:10.14.05-23:46 IA64, mixed mode)

uname -a will give the OS version.

Applying this new patch - PHCO_27375 (s700_800 11.00 cumulative SAM/ObAM patch) might solve your issue.

[Tim Nelson]

your swlist shows three different versions of java

which directory are you in when you are executing ./java -version ???

Also, if you want java 1.5.xx as shown in your other example then you need to install it.

I am assuming whichever directory you are in the java exec you are using is no good. reinstall or upgrade..

[dictum9]

That patch seems to be for something entirely different.

[dictum9]

The diagnostic application from Quest installs its own version of Java.
Here are log files, one from a non-working machine where java dumps core and the second one from a working machine.
You can see the difference, look at the line:

Hi,

java1.5 if for 64bit engines only - can you verify this? (I don't know 11.23)
Is the swlist the same for both maschines?
Can you give us:

'uname -a'
'file /stand/vmunix'

[Dennis Handly]

>Volkmar: java1.5 is for 64bit engines only - can you verify this?

There are both 32 and 64 bit version of java.

>file /stand/vmunix

This is useless. All kernels on 11.23 and later are 64 bit. And "uname -a" would give more info.

>DMVamsi: Applying this new patch - PHCO_27375 (s700_800 11.00 cumulative SAM/ObAM patch)

Not hardly. It won't install on 11.23.

[Tim Nelson]

According to the swlist supplied he does not even have java 1.5 installed on the first (bad) machine.

tmp#: swlist | grep -i java

So what does this mean?



^[[1mExpanded Valid VM types................. 1.4+ ^[[0m
checking: "" against "1.4+": failed (wrong version

[V. Nyga]

The script failed to install java1.5 - that's what I meant - maybe your java version is not allowed for the maschine.
Ok - I've seen this only at 11.0, but it looks like when you look with swinstall in a depot where are not the right version of patches ... you see nothing.

Dennis - could it be?

V.

[V. Nyga]

Sorry - a new idea :-)
Try to install java1.5 from hp source:
http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXJAVAHOME

Put it or a link where quest want it.

Else you have to check why the script failed ...

V.

[dictum9]

That is an idea.

>V: I've seen this only at 11.0, but it looks like when you look with swinstall in a depot where are not the right version of patches ... you see nothing. Dennis - could it be?

swlist should list all version but swinstall will only show/install the ones compatible the machine.
