In case anyone is interested, here's the procedure I followed on
hp-ux:
1. Create bea userID and bea group with home directory /apps/bea
2. Created logical volume for /apps/bea ( 2.0 Gb in size).
3. Downloaded binary install and gave ownership to bea.
4. Logged in as this user, set umask 022, exported display (was using
cygwin) and ran installer.
5. Install process was pretty straightforward. I was only using jms
queues so the configuration process was pretty easy.
6. Finally, installed my license from bea using the script
updatelicense.sh installed in the /apps/bea directory.
