A minimum amount of space must be available in the directory
where you create a profile.
An error can occur when you do not provide enough space to create
a profile. Verify that you have, in addition to the minimum space
required for a particular profile, an additional 40 MB of space. The
40 MB of space is used for log files and temporary files.

table shows space requirements for various profiles and server types.

Situations in which you could have
insufficient file-system space
The Profile Management Tool and the manageprofiles command
checks that the amount of file-system space needed to create the profile
is available right before profile creation begins. However, a slight
chance exists that the profile creation can fail due to a lack of
file-system space. This failure can occasionally occur in the following
situations:
- Another user performs an action, such as copying files, that occupies
file-system space at the same time that either
the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command
writes to the file system.
- Another program writes to the disk at the same time that either
the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command
writes to it to create a profile.
- The Profile Management Tool writes its logs
and the profile that it creates to the same file system at the same
time.
- The manageprofiles command
writes its logs and the profile that it creates to the same file system
at the same time.
Use the following recommendations to avoid profile creation
failure:
- Ensure that enough temporary space is allocated for profile creation.
Some temporary space is needed for the profile creation logs. These
logs can be on a different file system than the file system on which
the profile is created.
- Ensure no other program writes to the file-system space when either
the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command
creates the profile.
- Ensure no user performs actions that occupy the file-system space
when either
the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command
creates the profile.

Differences
between the manageprofiles command and the Profile
Management tool when creating cell profiles
Both the manageprofiles command
and the Profile Management tool can create a cell profile that has
both a federated application server profile and a deployment manager
profile. However, the Profile Management tool and the manageprofiles command
create cell profiles differently. The differences are important to
understand in terms of the available file-system space needed to create
the cell profiles. You can create a cell profile in one pass through
the Profile Management tool. In this case, you need 230 MB of available
file-system space to create the cell profile. However, to create a
cell profile using the manageprofiles command that
is equivalent to the cell profile that the Profile Management tool
creates, you must create two individual profiles, the cell deployment
manager profile and the cell node profile. The cell deployment manager
profile requires 30 MB of available file-system space, while the cell
node profile requires 200 MB of available file-system space.
