  • 1.  Removing Java 5

    Currently I got Java 5 32 bit and 64 bit  and Java 6 32 bit installed.

    Is the a general guide how to proceed carefully in that case?
    Are there any known dependencies on Java 5 in AIX or is there some way to detect such dependencies?

    When searching the process list I found a process (/usr/sbin/rsct/bin/vac8/IBM.HWCTRLRMd) that has a child process that is running some Java5.

    Will rsct use Java 6 automatically when it doesn't find Java 5 any more?

    And should I also install the Java 6 64 bit version?

     

    Lots of questions, sorry. :-)

    Grateful for any (partial) answer.

     

    Joachim
