Question & Answer
Question
I have WebSphere installed to a Solaris global zone installation. There are 4 vm systems in the zone where each has its own WebSphere installation.
When I try to apply a fixpack to one of the vm's it fails the pre-requisite checking because running processes from other vm's in the zone are detected.
Is there a way to ignore / disable the check for running processes in cases like the above?

Cause
This is caused by the Installation Manager detecting processes from other VM's where
WebSphere has been installed in the Solaris zone.
Answer
To disable the Installation Manager running process pre-requisite check,
If using the Installation Manager GUI
You can add the following line in IM_ROOT/configuration/config.ini:
was.install.disable.detect.running.process=true
and then restart IM GUI or run imcl command again.
You can specify preferences by passing the following parameter to the imcl command.
[ -preferences preference_key=value ]
For example,
-preferences offering.service.repositories.areUsed=false,PassportAdvantageIsEnabled=false,com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.searchForUpdates=false
For details about the preference settings, see:
