Resolution

This seems to be caused by a defect on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and the following is suggested to upgrade it:
1.- Go to the below URL: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html (Download the j2re).
Download the JRE for linux: "J2SE v 1.4.2_19 JRE includes the JVM technology"
2.- Install this jre on the OES machine.
3.- Create a symbolic link to this new install location from the zenworks jre location "/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_03"
Command to create symbolic link:
ln -sf (new location) (zenworks java location)
Example:
If new jre is installed in location /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_19, then type the command:
ln -sf /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_19 /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_03
4.- Stop and start the zfs service.
