Java Plug-in Requirements for the Console

The console requires the Java Plug-in enabled on the client browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape).

  To confirm the Java Plug-in is enabled on IE

1. From the Tools menu on IE, click Internet Options.
2. In the Advanced tab, verify the JIT compiler for virtual machine enabled check box is selected under Microsoft VM.

VERITAS recommends using Microsoft VM on IE. If the IE 6.0 browser does not provide a Microsoft VM option on the Advanced tab, you must download the Java Plug-in from http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index-1.4.html. You can install any version prior to 1.4.2 on the client. VERITAS recommends using version 1.4.1_x.

If the IE 5.5 or 6.0 browser stops responding or "hangs" after logging on to a cluster through the Web Console, verify the type of Java Plug-in used by the browser on the Advanced tab described above.

  To disable a Java (Sun) Plug-in on IE

1. Clear the Use Java 2 v1.4.2_x for <applet> check box under Java (Sun) on the Advanced tab.
2. Select the JIT compiler for virtual machine enabled check box under Microsoft VM and click OK. If Microsoft VM is not an available option, check that the system is running only one Java Runtime Environment. If multiple JREs are installed on the client, uninstall the earlier versions and keep the latest version. VERITAS recommends using JRE 1.4.1.

   If the Java Plug-in is not enabled on Netscape 6.2. or 7.0, you must download the Plug-in from the Netscape Web site (http://wp.netscape.com/plugins/jvm.html) and configure it according to the instructions on the site. Use any Java Plug-in prior to version 1.4.2_x.
