Incorrect underlying mount point permission's prevent WebSphere Application Server from starting
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
When the filesystem in which Application Server is mounted has incorrect mount point permission's the server may not start when attempting to start the server as a non-root user.

Attempting to execute the $WAS_HOME/java/bin/java as this non-root user causes the following error.

/usr/WebSphere/DeploymentManager/java/bin> java -version
JVM not found: libjvm.a - libjvm.a
/usr/WebSphere/DeploymentManager/bin> startManager.sh
JVMXM008: Error occurred while initialising System ClassException in thread "main" Could not create JVM.
 
Cause
The JVM is unable to initialize because the user does not have the proper permission to access the necessary files due to incorrect underlying mount point permission's.
 
Resolving the problem
Unmount the file system and change the permission's of the mount point to 777 (rwxrwxrwx). Mount the file system and run Application Server as a non-root user.
