Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users who install IBM WebSphere * * Application Server V8. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: You not get blocked by Installation * * Manager from installing WebSphere v8 * * products on operating systems below * * minimum supported level. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The com.ibm.ws.check.os.v80 bundle mistreats operating systems with levels lower than the minimum requirement as higher than the minimum requirement. As a result, the bundle returns successful status instead of failure when the operating system level is lower than the minimum requirement.
Problem conclusion
The logic of operating system level detection is fixed in the com.ibm.ws.check.os.v80 bundle so that it returns failure status when the operating system level is lower than the minimum requirement. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.0.0.1.
