ADMU3011E Servers fail to start after applying fixes

Troubleshooting


Problem

After applying a fix or fix pack with the Update Installer, servers (Dmgr, NodeAgent, and AppServers) may fail to start. The SystemOut.log will not even be generated to indicate why. The startServer.log shows: ADMU3011E: Server launched but failed initialization. startServer.log, SystemOut.log(or job log in z/OS® ) and other log files under /home/dwhare/WebSphere61/profiles/Dmgr01/logs/dmgr should contain failure information.

Symptom

ADMU3011E: Server launched but failed initialization. startServer.log, SystemOut.log(or job log in z/OS® ) and other log files under /home/dwhare/WebSphere61/profiles/Dmgr01/logs/dmgr should contain failure information.
