The Operating System does not meet the minimum requirements when installing Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities for migrating to WebSphere Commerce, version 6.0
Problem(Abstract)
When performing a remote migration of WebSphere Commerce to version 6.0, the step to remotely migrate the application requires you to install the Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities component on the source machine to create the EAR and ZIP files.

After accepting the licensing agreement, you receive the following message:
The Operating System does not meet the minimum requirements.

This prevents you from continuing, even though installing the Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities component to perform remote migration does not require the system to upgrade to a higher level.
Cause The WebSphere Commerce, version 6.0 installation checks for the required operating system prerequisites before the user selects which WebSphere Commerce components to install. The Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities is only installed on a system with the previous version of WebSphere Commerce to perform remote migration, and as such, it does not require the higher system prerequisites. In this case, these checks are not necessary. Resolving the problem Run the installer with -W HardStopAction.disableOSCheck="True" appended to the installation command. For example:

For Windows: WC60\disk1\setup.exe -W HardStopAction.disableOSCheck="True" 

For i5/OS: WC60\disk1\setup.exe -os400 -W HardStopAction.disableOSCheck="True" 

For AIX: ./WC60/disk1/setup_aix -W HardStopAction.disableOSCheck="True" 

For Solaris: ./WC60/disk1/setup_solaris -W HardStopAction.disableOSCheck="True" 

For xLinux: ./WC60/disk1/setup_linux -W HardStopAction.disableOSCheck="True" 

For pLinux or iLinux:

./WC60/disk1/setup_ppcLinux  -W HardStopAction.disableOSCheck="True" 
For zLinux: ./WC60/disk1/setup_zlinux -W HardStopAction.disableOSCheck="True" 

The installer will continue through the panels to install the Remote WebSphere Commerce Management Utilities component, despite the failed prerequisite checks.
