Port already in use error when starting deployment manager
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Conflict of admin port 9090 with wsmserver port of AIX® 5.x system results in port is already in use error message when starting deployment manager.
 
Resolving the problem
If you receive a "port is already in use" error message when you start deployment manager on AIX 5.x operating system, the following steps will help you resolve the problem.
  1. Use netstat -a |grep 9090 to determine if the wsmserver is running on this port.
  2. If you do not need to run wsmserver, stop it to resolve the issue. (wsmserver is Web-based tool to administer an AIX system; it is included in WebSphere Application Server 5.x, and uses default port 9090.)
  3. To stop wsmserver, issue /usr/websm/bin/wsmserver -disable
  4. If you want to run wsmserver along with WebSphere Application Server, you must configure wsmserver or deployment manager for a different port. To configure wsmserver for different port:

    1. Change wsmserver 9090/tcp in the etc/services file
    2. Stop and restart wsmserver using /usr/websm/bin/wsmserver -disable and /usr/websm/bin/wsmserver -enable
