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.

You must have 30 MB of available file system space in the directory where you create a deployment manager profile.

You must have 10 MB of available file system space in the directory where you create a custom profile.

You must have 230 MB of available file system space in the directory where you create a cell profile that contains a federated application server profile and a deployment manager profile.

Situations in which you could have insufficient file system space [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows]

The Profile Management tool and the manageprofiles command check 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 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 [AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows]

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.
