Monitoring Console cannot be installed on the same host as other Java ES components (6441664)

The Java ES installer allows you to select any and all components for installation along with the Sun Java System Monitoring Console. However, due a limitation of the Monitoring Console, it does not run when installed on the same host or in the same Solaris zone as the components that it monitors. If Monitoring Console is selected with other components, the installation will not fail, but you will not be able to configure and run the Monitoring Console.

Solution Install the Monitoring Console on a dedicated host where no other Java ES components are installed. When running the installer, do not select the Monitoring Console for installation when installing other components. For more details, see the procedure To Install the Monitoring Console with the Java ES Installer in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Monitoring Guide.

Alternatively, you can install the Monitoring Console on the same physical machine as other Java ES components by creating a dedicated logical host in a local zone with the Solaris 10 operating system. For more details, see the procedure To Install the Monitoring Console in a Solaris Zone in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Monitoring Guide.

If you wish to install Java ES components on a host where you previously installed and configured Monitoring Console, follow the procedure To Unconfigure the Monitoring Console in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Monitoring Guide
