creating a user account does not meet the system requirements” on page 59

v “The agent manager installation fails during the Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator

installation” on page 59

v “An error occurs when running the rpm -qa command after the DB2 Universal

Database, IBM Tivoli Directory Server, and WebSphere Application Server

prerequisites are installed on Linux” on page 62

In Linux, you cannot create the user tioadmin
The installation appears to proceed successfully to completion, but when you check
to find the user tioadmin, it has not been created.
Cause
This is a known InstallShield Multi-Platform issue. Because the user tioadmin is
not created, the server environment is unstable. Various elements of the installation
expect tioadmin and require it to exist. For example, because WebSphere
Application Server is configured to start with tioadmin, WebSphere Application
Server cannot start.
