What’s New in WebLogic Server 10.0 MP1 Virtual Edition v1.2

WebLogic Server 10.0 MP1 Virtual Edition v1.2 (WLS-VE) includes LiquidVM 1.2, which provides significant performance improvements over earlier releases of LiquidVM. This release also includes the following changes:

New WLS-VE Packaging

This version of WLS-VE has some packaging differences compared to previous releases of WLS-VE 9.2:

Physical-to-Virtual Domain Conversion Utility

The Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) Domain Conversion utility enables you to convert physical WLS 10.0 MP1-based domains hosted on traditional OSes into virtual domains that can be hosted on LiquidVMs in hypervisor environments, as follows:

For more information, see Creating Virtual WebLogic Domains in the WLS-VE Configuration and User Guide.

Change Request Number
Description and Workaround or Solution
Found In
Fixed In
CR316773
Using Ctrl-C to shut down a WLS-VE server instance in the Virtual Infrastructure Client console window can cause an error:
Error connecting: VMX Connection handshake failed for mks of /vmfs/volumes/<volume-id-string>/<WLS-VE instance name>/<WLS-VE instance name>.vmx
Do you want to try again?
This error is harmless and can be ignored.
9.2 v1.0
 
CR322659
When you shut down an Administration or Managed Server using the WLS Administration Console, the following message is displayed:
The administration server is shutting down, and the console is no longer available. You will have to manually start the Administration Server using the node manager or a command line to continue administering this domain.
You cannot use Node Manager with WLS-VE. Instead, you should restart the servers by pressing Power On in the Virtual Infrastructure Client or by executing the start scripts. For more information about starting servers, see Starting and Stopping WLS-VE in the WLS-VE Configuration and User Guide.
9.2 v1.0
 
CR357340
LiquidVM launcher does not recognize spaces in pathnames.
Workaround:
Do not use pathnames that contain spaces in the server start scripts, such as C:\Documents and Settings.
9.2 v1.1
 
CR368020
WLS 10.0 MP1 VE v1.2 defaults to the Java muxer (JavaSocketMuxer) instead of the native muxer (EpollSocketMuxer). However, the start scripts generated by the P2V utility pass the appropriate command line-argument to cause WLS-VE to use the native muxer.
Workaround:
If you are using custom start scripts for WLS-VE, you can enable the EPoll native muxer by passing the following command-line argument:
-l posixOSName=linux
10.0 v1.2
