Cloning a websphere machine

[williey]

I cloned an existing application server with websphere on it.
The clone has new IP and hostname. Went through and update a number of files to reflect the new hostname.

When I try to bring up the admin console, the websphere application service stops. Running the installation verification fails too. A search for "LogIncompatibleException" did not turn up anything.

The trace log file shows

Try deleting transaction logs.

Cheers,

where are the transaction logs located?
are the logs in both the partnerlog and tranlog folder?

Thanks! deleting both the parterlog and tranlog folder fixes the problem for me.
