PRIMECLUSTER Web-Based Admin View Operation Guide

3.1.3.2 Required for the Web Browser Environment

The supported Java Plug-in versions are clarified in "Prerequisite client environment". Java Plug-in 1.2.2, which Sun Microsystems provides for free, may come with some operation management product packages.

Follow the setup method described in "Setting up Java Plug-in."

Setting up Java Plug-in

PC client

1. Check if Java Plug-in is installed.

   Start [Add or delete Application], and then check if the following Java Plug-in is installed it is not necessary to install.

   • Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1
   • Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.4.2
2. Install Java Plug-in.

   Execute the following Java Plug-in installer in a CD-ROM.

   • For Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1

     <CDROM drive name>: \plugins\ win\j2re_1_3_1-<version>-windows-i586-i.exe

   • For Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.4.2

     <CDROM drive name>: \plugins \win\j2re-1_4_2_<version>-windows-i586-p.exe

   Replace < version > with the file version number on CD-ROM.

   Install following the procedure displayed on the screen.

This completes the setup.

Solaris OS

The setup procedure varies depending on the version of Java Plug-in as follows;

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Version 1.3.1

1. Copy Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Version 1.3.1 for Solaris OS to the working directory from CD-ROM.

   Set up CD-ROM on the CD-ROM device.

   # cd <CDROM-mountpoint>/plugins/solaris/sparc

   Normally, <CDROM-mountpoint> will be /cdrom/cdrom0

   When the working directory is /var/tmp:

   # cp <CDROM-mountpoint>/plugins/solaris/sparc/j2re-1_3_1_<version>-solsparc.sh /var/tmp

   Replace < version > with the file version number on CD-ROM.

2. Make sure that the execute permissions are set on the self-extracting binary.

   chmod +x j2re-1_3_1_<version>-solsparc.sh

3. Move directory to the location where the files should be installed.

   # cd <Installed directory>

4. Run the self-extracting binary.

   A directory called j2re1_3_1_<version> is created in the current directory. This directory can be renamed at user's discretion after installation.

5. Set up the environment variable

   Execute the following command to set the environment variable to the shell variable:

   [For C shell]

   # setenv NPX_PLUGIN_PATH <Java Plug-in path>

   [For shell and Kornshell]

   # NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=<Java Plug-in path>

   # export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH

   <Java Plug-in path> is designated the following directory containing the javaplugin.so file.

   <Installed directory>/j2re1_3_1_<version>/plugin/sparc/ns4

   Example: When <Installed directory> is /var/tmp

   <Java Plug-in path>=/var/tmp/j2re1_3_1_<version>/plugin/sparc/ns4

6. Start your Netscape browser, or restart it if it is already activated.
7. Restart your browser again. The browser needs to be restarted twice to avoid the Netscape problem.

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Version 1.4.2

1. Copy Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Version 1.4.2 for Solaris OS to the working directory from CD-ROM.

   Set up CD-ROM on the CD-ROM device.

   # cd <CDROM-mountpoint>/plugins/solaris/sparc

   Normally, <CDROM-mountpoint> will be /cdrom/cdrom0

   When the working directory is /var/tmp:

   # cp <CDROM-mountpoint>/plugins/solaris/sparc/j2re-1_4_2_<version>-solsparc.sh /var/tmp

   Replace < version > with the file version number on CD-ROM.

2. Make sure that the execute permissions are set on the self-extracting binary.

   # chmod +x j2re-1_4_2_<version>-solsparc.sh

3. Move directory to the location where the files should be installed.

   # cd <Installed directory>

4. Run the self-extracting binary.

   A directory called j2re1_4_2_<version> is created in the current directory. This directory can be renamed at user's discretion after installation.

5. Set up Java Plug-in
   • For Netscape Communicator 4.72-4.7X

     Execute the following command to set the environment variable to the shell variable:

     [For C shell]

     # setenv NPX_PLUGIN_PATH <Java Plug-in path>

     [For shell and Kornshell]

     # NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=<Java Plug-in path>

     # export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH

     <Java Plug-in path> is designated the following directory containing the javaplugin.so file.

     <Installed directory>/j2re1.4.2_<version>/plugin/sparc/ns4

     ex:For <Installed directory> is /var/tmp

     <Java Plug-in path> : /var/tmp/j2re1.4.2_<version>/plugin/sparc/ns4

   • For Netscape7.X

     Create symbolic link from a library file.

     # cd <Netscape7_Installed directory >/plugins

     # ln -s <Java Plug-in path>/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

     <Java Plug-in path> is designated the following directory containing the javaplugin.so file.

     <Installed directory >/j2re1.4.2_<version>/plugin/sparc/ns610

     ex: For <Installed directory> is /var/tmp

     <Java Plug-in path> : /var/tmp/j2re1.4.2_<version>/plugin/sparc/ns610

6. Start your Netscape browser, or restart it if it is already activated.

   It is restart Netscape Communicator 4.72-4.7X.

Other version

1. Check if Netscape Communicator is installed.
2. Check if Java Plug-in is installed.

   # pkginfo -l SUNWj2pi

   Execute the above command. If the version is newer than below, it is not necessary to install.

   If it is older than below, delete the version, and install a recommended version.

   VERSION: 10.1.2.2,REV=1999.12.06.10.02

   VERSION: 20.1.2.2,REV=1999.10.14.18.04

Linux(R)

Linux(R) cannot be used as a client.

• If the version of the installed Java Plug-in is older than that described above, install a recommended version.
• Java Plug-in should be installed after the Web browser. If you uninstall the Web browser after installing Java Plug-in, uninstall the Java Plug-in, and then reinstall it again.
• In some Java Plug-in versions on Windows(R), the cache files might remain in the client's system directory. In that case, delete these cache files by disk cleanup function on a regular basis.
• In some Java Plug-in versions on Solaris OS, the cache files might remain in the /var/tmp directory. In such a case, delete these cache files. The files are generated by the name of "jar_cachexxxxx.tmp", and xxxxx is optional numeric.
