HPDL380-G4 running RHES 3 update 3 java problems

[Janet L White]

Hello,

Installed a new DL380 (G4 3.6)with RHES 3 iso update 3, shipped software RHES 3. update 2 would not recognize the 6si raid controller. Installed j2sdk1.4.2_04.i586.rpm and a simple java -version command errors out with a segmentation fault. We have this same package running on many RHES 3 update 2 servers. We tried to do a fresh install of 3 update 2 adding the array driver previous to install but the install still would not recognize the disks. Does anyone have jdk 1.4.2_04 running successfully on Redhat ES 3 update 3? Thank you for your time and assistance.

HP servers require disk preparation priot to installation of red hat.

The server website includes a downloadable bootable cd that lets you prepare your disk array. Then you boot Red Hat and do the install.

Thank you for your responses. Stuart, did you get the jdk package from the Sun site? If not, where? Was there any system "tweeking" you had to do post-install (besides, path class-path etc.?) Thank you again for your assistance.

jdk 1.5.0 works! Thank you.
