JDK 5.0
Solaris 64-Bit Operating System
|
 |
For system requirements, see Solaris system requirements.
Installing the 64-bit JDK for the Solaris operating system
on SPARC, AMD64, and EM64T platforms is a two-step process.
These steps can be performed in either order, but
you must install the following bundles together:
Install solaris-i586 (32-bit) with solaris-amd64 (64-bit)
Install solaris-sparc (32-bit) with solaris-sparcv9 (64-bit)
-
Install the 32-bit JDK using the
32-bit JDK Installation Notes
.
-
Install the supplemental files for 64-bit support using the following
64-bit installation instructions.
64-Bit Installation Instructions
Follow this procedure to install support for 64-bit operation
of the JDK on SPARC, AMD64, and EM64T processors. You must also
install the 32-bit JDK as described above.
As with the installation of the 32-bit JDK, the 64-bit
supplemental support is available in two installation formats;
use the same installation format as you used
for the installation of the 32-bit JDK.
Note: For any text on this page containing the following
notation, you must substitute the appropriate JDK update version number
(such as "_01") for the notation.
<update>
For example, if you are installing update 1.5.0_01, the following command:
chmod +x jdk-1_5_0<update>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
would become:
chmod +x jdk-1_5_0_01-solaris-sparcv9.sh
Note: The jre-1_5_0<update>-solaris-amd64.sh installer
provides support for all processors that support the AMD 64-bit extensions
to the Intel x86 architecture, including EM64T.
Installation of Self-Extracting Binary
Follow these instructions to add 64-bit support to the JDK which
has already been installed using the self-extracting binary. If you want to install
Solaris packages comprising the JDK, see
Installation of Solaris Packages.
1.
Download the self-extracting binary and check the file size
to ensure that you have downloaded the full,
uncorrupted software bundle.
You can download to any directory you choose; it does not have
to be the directory where you want to install the JDK.
Before you download the file, notice its byte size provided
on the download page on the web site.
Once the download has completed, compare that file size
to the size of the downloaded file to make sure they are equal.
2.
Make sure that execute permissions are set on
the self-extracting binary:
On SPARC processors:
chmod +x jdk-1_5_0<update>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
On AMD64/EM64T processors:
chmod +x jdk-1_5_0<update>-solaris-amd64.sh
3.
Change directory to the same directory from where you
ran the self-extracting binary for the 32-bit install.
This is the directory that contains the
jdk1.5.0<update> directory of the 32-bit JRE.
The next step installs the JDK into the current directory.
4.
Run the self-extracting binary.
Execute the downloaded file, prepending the path to it.
For example, if the downloaded file is in the current directory,
prepend it with "./" (necessary if "." is not in the
PATH environment variable):
On SPARC processors:
./jdk-1_5_0<update>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
On AMD64/EM64T processors:
./jdk-1_5_0<update>-solaris-amd64.sh
The binary code license is displayed, and you are prompted
to agree to its terms.
The supplemental files for 64-bit support are installed
in directories named for the machine architecture model,
which are added at several locations within the same jdk1.5.0<update>
directory where the 32-bit JDK was installed. For example,
on SPARC processors the 64-bit Java VM Library file
(libjvm.so) is stored in the jre/lib/sparcv9/server,
whereas the version for AMD64/EM64T is stored in
jre/lib/amd64/server.
Installation of Solaris Packages
Use these instructions if you want to use the pkgadd utility to install
64-bit support for the JDK.
1.
Download and check the file size
to ensure that you have downloaded the full,
uncorrupted software bundle.
It's best to create a new directory to save the download bundle to,
as the next step will extract several directories and files into
this directory. The directory can be anywhere you choose.
Before you download the file, notice its byte size provided
on the download page on the web site.
Once the download has completed, compare that file size
to the size of the downloaded file to make sure they are equal.
2.
Extract the contents of the compressed tar file:
On SPARC processors:
zcat jdk-1_5_0<update>-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z | tar -xf -
On AMD64/EM64T processors:
zcat jdk-1_5_0<update>-solaris-amd64.tar.Z | tar -xf -
This creates several directories (SUNWj5rtx, SUNWj5dvx,
and SUNWj5dmx)
in the current directory, which contain 64-bit support for the JDK.
3.
Become root by running su and entering
the super-user password.
4.
Uninstall any earlier 5.0 package installation of 64-bit packages.
If your machine has an earlier 64-bit version of 5.0
already installed in the default location (/usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0),
you must remove it before installing a later 64-bit version of 5.0 at that
location.
You can skip this step if you intend to install the
64-bit version JDK 5.0 in a non-default location.
For more details, see
Selecting the Default Java Platform.
To uninstall the Solaris packages for JDK 5.0,
remove them by running:
On all processors:
pkgrm SUNWj5rtx SUNWj5dvx SUNWj5dmx
5.
Run the pkgadd command to install the packages.
On all processors:
pkgadd -d . SUNWj5rtx SUNWj5dvx SUNWj5dmx
This will install the files for 64-bit support into the
JDK 5.0<update> installation at /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0.
6.
Delete the tar files and extracted SUNW* directories.
7.
Exit the root shell. No need to reboot.
