This document includes information about the following topics:
The following sections summarize the new features and enhancements in this release of WebLogic Server Virtual Edition:
LiquidVM 1.1 provides a virtual local disk for each virtual machine. This removes the dependence on NFS and provides faster, more secure file transfers. The local disk can be mapped to a SAN attached to the ESX server. For more information, see Using the Virtual Local Disk in the WLS-VE Configuration and User Guide.
LiquidVM 1.1 provides a built-in SSH server that provides a secure mechanism to transfer files, including WebLogic domains, both to and from the LiquidVM instance on the hypervisor host. The SSH server supports the following:
For more information, see Using the LiquidVM SSH Service in the WLS-VE Configuration and User Guide.
This release includes the following performance improvements:
-Xms) because adaptive optimizations ensure the heap automatically grows under high memory pressure and shrinks when it is no longer needed.
This following table describes problems that have been identified in this release of WLS-VE. Where applicable, a Change Request Number is specified for the problem. These Change Request Numbers enable BEA and users to monitor the status of issues while solutions are being developed. Entries include a description of the problem, and a workaround or solution where appropriate.
When you install WLS-VE, the installer generates a DemoIdentity keystore that includes a certificate for the host that runs the installer. This is not the host from which you will run the WLS-VE. The installer then stores this certificate on the ISO. If SSL is used, this certificate is the default if no other certificate is specified.

Using Ctrl-C to shut down a WLS-VE server instance in the Virtual Infrastructure Client console window can cause an error:
|
|||
The uninstallation program reports servers as running, even though they have been shut down. You get the following message:
|
|||
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.

Windows Start menu entries that are created by the domain Configuration Wizard cannot be used to start and stop WLS-VE servers.
Edit the start scripts as required for your configuration and execute the scripts from the command line. For more information, see
Creating and Copying WLS-VE Domains in the WLS-VE Configuration and User Guide.

When a local disk is created for the LVM, the current working directory defaults to
/domain on the local disk. If the weblogic.RootDirectory refers to another directory, either on an NFS mount or on the local disk, application deployments can fail, particularly if the application contains web services.
|
|||
When you create a domain using the Configuration Wizard, the
readme_wlsve.txt created in the BEA_HOME\user_projects\domains\DOMAIN_NAME directory contains information that is not correct if you are using the virtual local disk.
Refer to the instructions in
Creating and Copying WLS-VE Domains in WLS-VE Configuration and User Guide.
