"java.rmi.RemoteException: Failed to initialize CollectorJMX - no AdminClient is created" occurs when using Tivoli Performance Viewer to connect to a V5 application server
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
When the Tivoli® Performance Viewer is used to view performance data on a remote WebSphere Application Server V5 application server, and global security is enabled on that application server, the Tivoli Performance Viewer could fail to establish a connection due to the following error:

java.rmi.RemoteException: Failed to instantiate a new instance of com.ibm.ws.pmi.perfServer.CollectorJMX; nested exception is:
java.rmi.RemoteException: Failed to initialize CollectorJMX - no AdminClient is created
java.rmi.RemoteException: Failed to initialize CollectorJMX - no AdminClient is created
at com.ibm.ws.pmi.perfServer.CollectorJMX.init(CollectorJMX.java:111)
at com.ibm.ws.pmi.perfServer.DataCache.createCollector(DataCache.java:106)
at com.ibm.websphere.pmi.client.PmiClient.init(PmiClient.java:385)
 
Cause
This error is known to occur when the WebSphere® Application Server installation from which the Tivoli Performance Viewer is being run is at a different level than the installation of the target application server.

For example, the Tivoli Performance Viewer might be running from a V5.0.1 installation connecting to a V5.0.2 application server. The problem is that different levels of WebSphere Application Server use different key files for security.

 
Solution
To resolve the problem, ensure that both installations are at the same WebSphere Application Server maintenance level. The Tivoli Performance Viewer can then access the remote application server successfully.
