Workaround

Fix:

  1. Download and unzip Patch 9216848
  2. Install the patch carefully following the README
Also, as an available work-around it has also been shown that you may install an updated JDK 1.5 [SR 8 or later] that works on the power 7 processor,
in this case the workaround will be to launch OUI this way : ./runInstaller -jreloc <path of O.S jre>
