Symptoms

You are unable to get to the GUI after upgrading to 11.5.x or 11.6.x from a prior version. The DB variable provision.tomcat.extramb is 0 (zero) after upgrading using a configuration with the variable set to a non-zero value.

Impact

The DB value is not rolled forward, so the GUI gets less than expected amount of memory.

Conditions

The DB variable provision.tomcat.extramb set to a value other than 0 before installing.

Workaround

After the first boot, set the DB variable provision.tomcat.extramb to the desired amount or restore the saved UCS at /var/local/ucs/config.ucs.

Fix Information

The DB variable provision.tomcat.extramb now retains the specified value when rolling forward a configuration.
