Problem Installing IBM Installation Manager on RHEL 8 Systems with older package Fapolicyd

Troubleshooting


Problem

You may see a "JVM Terminated Exit Code =1" error while installing  IBM Installation Manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 systems that include package 'fapolicyd.x86_64' version 0.9.1-4.el8 or older. The installation will fail.

Symptom

In this failure scenario, the Installation Manager will fail to install, and the failure is early enough that the Installation Manager doesn't get a chance to create the Installation Manager Logs.   The user will see a JVM Terminated Exit Code =1 error.

Resolving The Problem

To fix this issue, upgrade the fapolicyd package to version 1.0-3.el8_3.4 or higher, by running:

  • dnf upgrade fapolicyd

Restart the fapolicyd:
