Profiles: file system requirements

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.

You must have 200 MB of available file system space in the directory where you create an application server profile.

Situations in which you could have insufficient file system space

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:

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 the manageprofiles command creates the profile.
  • Ensure no user performs actions that occupy the file system space when the manageprofiles command creates the profile.
