To install the UNIX agent patch manually:

  • Unzip p71p30.zip.
  • Copy the /unix/data/updates//p71p30.tar file for your operating system and the /unix/data/updates/P71030/wcPatch to the PSHOME/netiq/bin directory on the computer where you want to install the Hotfix.
    • You can find the value for PSHOME in the /etc/vsaunix.cfg file on the target computer.
  • Login to the computer where you want to install the Hotfix.
  • Run the su command to switch to the root user account.
  • Change to the PSHOME/netiq/bin directory.

Cause

  • This Hotfix enables support for WebLogic 10.3.
  • This Hotfix resolves an issue on Solaris platforms where the NetIQ UNIX Agent could not reliably shut down the Java process that interfaces with WebLogic. (ENG271817, ENG301656)
