There is a bug in the Install Shield Multi-Platform (ISMP), an installer used by IBM WebSphere.
Details:
This is a bug in the ISMP (install shield multi-platform), an installer used by the WebSphere. ISMP did not recognize the VxVM/VxFS to calculate the size of the volume. ISMP fixed this in their 5.0.2 release. However, IBM did not pick this release up until WebSphere 6.0 release.
So, if customer is going to use WAS6.0, then it should install on VxFS. Prior versions continue to fail to install on VxFS. There is a hotfix from ISMP that would make prior versions work as well.
The work-around is:
(1) copy the attached file to a temp directory
(2) export AIX_LIB_LOC=/<absloute path to the file>
(3) run install again
