Issue/Introduction

The Solaris agent install fails with the following error...

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

#

#  Internal Error (output.cpp:1576), pid=2348, tid=90

#  guarantee((int)(blk_starts[i+1] - blk_starts[i]) >= (current_offset - blk_offset)) failed: shouldn't increase block size

Environment

Release : 11.3.4

Component : Workload Automation System Agent

Cause

This error occurs on Solaris SPARC platforms when installing older versions of the System Agent that bundle an older JRE. It is due to a bug with the older JRE and Solaris SPARC documented here...

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8035283

Resolution

Install latest agent version which has an updated JRE that does not contain the bug on Solaris.
