When you install IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 on a machine that runs the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 6 operating system, you might encounter the following error message:
Failed : Your operating system failed the prerequisites check.
A supported operating system was not detected. Support for your operating system might have been added after the release of the product. You can continue with the installation, but the installation might not succeed.
If you install the product silently, you might encounter the following error message:
Process, com.ibm.ws.install.ni.ismp.actions.
MaintenancePrereqCheckAction, wrn,
To disable operating system prerequisite checking, set option
disableOSPrereqChecking to true, or refer to the "Operating
System Prerequisite Checking" section in the sample response file.
This document explains how to address the issue without setting the disableOSPrereqChecking option value to true.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 6 is a newly supported operating system for WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1. The maintenance.xml file might not list Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 6 as a supported operating system.
As a workaround for this problem, complete the steps in the following procedure.
Note: The prerequisite warning message might still display. The installation process for WebSphere Application Server uses a conservative method of prerequisite checking. It checks for certain levels of operating systems and does not recognize operating system levels that exceed the documented requirements. Even if your operating system level exceeds the minimum requirements, the WebSphere Application Server installer might display the prerequisite warning. The prerequisite warning message might display even if you use the instructions in this document to update the product files. WebSphere Application Server officially supports more recent operating system fix pack levels than the levels that are listed on the detailed system requirements pages.
You can use these steps to update WebSphere Application Server, Application Client for WebSphere Application Server, IBM HTTP Server, or the Web server plug-in.
- Remove the temporary log directories that might have been created by previous installations.
If you do not remove the log files, you might encounter messages from previous installations. Remove the following directories:- user_home/waslogs
- user_home/plglogs
- user_home/cltlogs
- user_home/ihslogs
- user_home/waslogs
- Copy the image to a temporary directory if you are installing WebSphere Application Server from a CD or DVD.
- Make a backup copy of the maintenance.xml file.
The following table lists the locations of the existing maintenance.xml files on your system.
Installation type Directory WebSphere Application Server temp_directory/WAS/was.primary.pak/ Application Client for WebSphere Application Server temp_directory/AppClient/client.primary.pak/ IBM HTTP Server temp_directory/IHS/ihs.primary.pak/ Web server plug-in temp_directory/Plugin/plg.primary.pak/ - Copy the appropriate maintenance.xml file from the following table and overwrite the original file in the temporary directory. To use these files, right-click the link for the edition name and select Save Link As.
Note: The Product Edition column within the following table refers to the product edition for your WebSphere Application Server-related product and not the system processor type.
Product name Edition name WebSphere Application Server IA32 WebSphere Application Server PPC32 WebSphere Application Server PPC64 for 64-bit WebSphere Application Server WebSphere Application Server S390 WebSphere Application Server S390 64 for 64-bit WebSphere Application Server WebSphere Application Server X86 64 for 64-bit WebSphere Application Server Application Client for WebSphere Application Server IA32 Application Client for WebSphere Application Server PPC32 IBM HTTP Server IA32 IBM HTTP Server PPC32 IBM HTTP Server PPC64 for 64-bit IBM HTTP Server IBM HTTP Server S390 IBM HTTP Server S390 64 for 64-bit IBM HTTP Server IBM HTTP Server X86 64 for 64-bit IBM HTTP Server Web server plug-in IA32 Web server plug-in PPC32 Web server plug-in PPC64 for 64-bit Web server plug-in Web server plug-in S390 Web server plug-in S390 64 for 64-bit Web server plug-in Web server plug-in X86 64 for 64-bit Web server plug-in - Start the installation interface or the silent installation process.
- Update your WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 installation to the Version 6.1 Fix Pack 35 or later so that you are at a supported level for the product that is being hosted on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 6 operating system.
Note: If you receive a system-prerequisite warning during the installation of the Update Installer product, you should ignore that warning and proceed with the installation of the Update Installer.
