Administrative console not installed on AIX during WebSphere Application Server V5.0 installation
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
When installing WebSphere® Application Server V5.0 on AIX® platforms, if the /tmp filesystem has less than 90 MB of available space, the administrative console application may not install.
 
Cause
Insufficient space for temporary installation files in the /tmp filesystem
 
Resolving the problem
Prior to Installation:
  1. Check to ensure there is at least 90 MB of available space in the /tmp filesystem using the following command:
    df -k
  2. If there is not sufficient space, you can do one of two things to increase the amount of available space:
    1. Delete unneeded files in /tmp.
    2. Increase the size of the /tmp filesystem using the AIX SMIT administrative tool. SMIT can also be invoked from a telnet session using smitty.

After Installation:
Check for the existence of the adminconsole subdirectory under the $WAS_HOME/installedApps/hostname/adminconsole.ear directory. If it does not exist, the administrative console application was not installed and manual installation will be required.

To install in manually:
  1. Run the $WAS_HOME/bin/wsadmin.sh command to get a wsadmin> prompt
  2. At the wsadmin> prompt enter the following commands:
    1. $AdminApp install $WAS_HOME/installableApps/adminconsole.ear
    2. $AdminConfig save
  3. Stop and start the Application Server before accessing the administrative console
