APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When installing WAS 5.0.2 on AIX 5.2.0.1, the install fails the
prerequisite check.
The new prereqChecker.xml that is provided on the web to allow
installation on AIX 5.2 needs to be updated to recognize AIX
5.2.0.1.
OSLEVEL will return 5200-01. This value needs to be added as
valid in prereqChecker.xml
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users installing WebSphere Application *
* Server 5.0 on AIX 5.2.0.0 Maintenance Level *
* 01 and using the required prereqChecker.xml *
* file. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The prereqChecker.xml file was not *
* updated to add support for AIX 5.2.0.0 *
* Maintenance Level 01. When a user was *
* passing the new prereqChecker.xml file *
* to the base WebSphere 5.0 install, it *
* still warned that the operating system *
* was not supported. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
WebSphere Application Server Fix Pack 5.0.2 added support for
AIX 5.2.0.0 Maintenance Level 01. In order to get to WebSphere
5.0.2 on this operating system, the user has to install
WebSphere 5.0 by passing a new prereqChecker.xml to the install.
Following the base install of WebSphere 5.0 the user would then
install Fix Pack 5.0.2. The problem is that the new
prereqChecker.xml was not updated to support the new version of
AIX, thus causing the installation to complain about an
unsupported operating system.
Problem conclusion
The prereqChecker.xml file has been updated to support
AIX 5.2.0.0 Maintenance Level 01. The external website -
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&context=
SSEQTP&q=4004726&uid=swg24004726&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en -
has been updated with the new prereqChecker.xml so that
the warning does not appear during install.
