Posted by eichelgartenweg on 9:30 AM with 3 comments
Yesterday i just wanted to update my testing enviroment to WAS 6.1.0.17.
Iin order to do that i just wanted to install the Update Installer 6.1.0.17.
I executed the install-script an nothings happens. Nice.
In the end i detected an error on the JDK/JRE shipped with the Update Installer.
Error message:

Error message:
/opt/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller61017_install/JDK/jre.pak/repository/package.java.jre/java/jre/bin/java: cannot execute binary file
I couldnt really determinate the problem, but i managed to launch the Update Installer with another JRE./"WAS_SYSTEM_ROOT"/java/jre/bin/java -cp /"UPDATE_INSTALLER_PATH"/UpdateInstaller/setup.jar -Xms48m -Xms384m run -options /"UPDATE_INSTALLER_PATH"/UpdateInstaller/responsefile.updiinstaller.txt -silent
For Installation i used a responsefile and the silent install mode. Our 64bit-System doesnt support the Install-GUI of the UpdateInstaller.
To run the Update Installer i executed
To run the Update Installer i executed
/"WAS_SYSTEM_ROOT"/java/jre/bin/java -cp /"UPDATE_INSTALLER_PATH"/update.jar -Xms48m -Xms384m run
I didnt mangage to find the "problem" on the delivered JDK/JRE. Probably there is someting wrong with the CLASSPATH.
Update:
Problem conclusion:
Replace the JRE-folder ("UPDATE_INSTALLER_PATH"/java/jre) with a jre-folder of a old Update-Installer-Installation.
Here you can download a working jre-folder
Part 1
Part 2
You need Winrar to unpack.
Update 2 (new):
Seems like IBM removed the Intel Intanium 64 Bit version of the Update Installer.
Only the Linux for AMD/Intel 64 Bit version is available at the moment.

I had the same problem: caused by using the "Linux Intel Itanium" update installer, rather than the "Linux for AMD - 64-bit" (my system is not AMD, but is an 2*quad-core Xeon). Run "file" against your java binaries and compare.
ReplyDeleteok. i used the "Linux Intel Itanium" installer too. i will have a try. :-). thanks
ReplyDeleteRan into a similar problem on AIX 64-bit. In order to fix it, I copied the java/jre dir from the WebSphere/AppServer dir to the Update Installer dir:
ReplyDeletemv /usr/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/java/jre{,bin}
cp -r /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java/jre /usr/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/java
