When starting up WebLogic after a network outage, we received the following exception:

I tried manually opening up the wallet but received a "ewallet.p12 not present" error:

oracle@soahost:/home/oracle> $MW_HOME/oracle_common/bin/orapki wallet display -wallet $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig -complete

ewallet.p12 not present at /u01/oracle/domains/soa_domain/config/fmwconfig

My first warning sign was when I ran the df command to report file system disk space usage, it actually hung:

oracle@soahost:/home/oracle> df -h

Then the root cause of the issue was finally identified:

oracle@soahost:/home/oracle> touch /tmp/z
touch: cannot touch `/tmp/z': Read-only file system

The /tmp folder was in read-only mode. Oracle WebLogic Server requires read/write to the /tmp folder, as you will notice adhoc product files created there usually.
