Checking Resources and Settings

The following host-level issues can cause installation problems.

• Updates. Have you applied the recommended updates (patches)?

• Disk Space. How is the disk partitioned, and to what partitions do installation directories point? The installation directories /var/sadm and /etc/opt, or the non-default directories that you specify, need sufficient disk space.

• Network Ports. During configuration, you supply port numbers for Java ES product components. Check the following:

  • Examine the standard port numbers in the file /etc/services .

  • Look at the summary log file to compare your settings with the standards. Did you mistype a port number or set one server to the port that is typically used for another?

  • Use the command netstat -a to view current port use on the system. Did you assign a port number that was already in use?

  IP Addresses. During configuration, you specify IP addresses. Check that you entered the correct IP addresses. These are some questions to resolve:

  • Does this system have multiple network interfaces, each with its own IP address?

  • In a high availability configuration, did you specify the IP address of the logical host or the IP address of a cluster node?
