Install Issue

Posted in 2013

Summary

On AIX 6.1, installing IDS 11.70.FC7 failed with "not enough disk space" in /tmp and /, even though df showed plenty of free space, and setting IATEMPDIR (and running via sudo) didn't help. Suggestions included checking symlinks on /opt, exporting TEMP/TMPDIR as well as IATEMPDIR (a known InstallAnywhere issue), using sudo -E to pass the environment, avoiding NFS-mounted temp dirs, and opening a PMR. Resolution: something cached in /tmp was consuming space not reflected by df; the sysadmin grew that filesystem and the install worked (a reboot likely would have done the same).

Good Morning Folks, O/S = AIX 6.1 IDS = 11.70.FC7 I have an install issue that should be a no brainer however... When I attempt an install, I am getting: WARNING!

IATEMPDIR cannot be the ONLY environment variable in your environment, it looks like you chopped the export output! Try again and post the entire output please. I'm looking for something specific!

We had this problem as well, it had to do with sym links. Do you perhaps have any symbolic links that deal with /opt? if so, the Informix installer may see that and be expecting /opt to have the minimum amount of space, even though you have ample space in your actual FS /dev/infxlv. -----Original Message----- From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of DAN MUELLER Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2013 7:46 AM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: Install Issue [31061] Good Morning Folks, O/S = AIX 6.1 IDS = 11.70.FC7 I have an install issue that should be a no brainer however...

Joe, No links but /opt/informix is a separate mount point than /opt if that makes a difference. Also this install is being performed via sudo. I could maybe see how that couold effect the IATEMPDIR env var however there is adequate space in the /tmp dir. Thanx, Dan We had this problem as well, it had to do with sym links.

Dan: This output is fine. Export should show all exported variables in alphabetical order, env shows all variables defined in the environment (not sorted) even if they are not exported. InstallAnywhere can only see exported vars, so I was looking for that output. I can only assume that in your environment only IATEMPDIR is exported for some reason. Anyway, one thing I note is that INFORMIXDIR is not exported, not a big deal since the installer will prompt you for this path anyway so that's just an aside. However, what I was looking for is TEMP which you don't have exported or even set so it is defaulting to "/". There is a known bug in InstallAnywhere. Even if you set IATEMPDIR it still checks the available space in $TEMP (& probably TMPDIR as well). Try setting TEMP and TMPDIR to whatever you have IATEMPDIR set to and that should resolve this. Here's a link to an IBM APAR about this problem encountered installing Tivoli which uses the same installer as Informix: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC77260 Art Art S.

Art, Thanx for taking me to school (-; but... I exported TEMP & TMPDIR (see below) informix @ ibm733:/opt/informix>export AUTHSTATE=compat CLCMD_PASSTHRU=1 GSKIT_CLIENT_VERSION=7 HOME=/home/informix IATEMPDIR=/export/home1/informix INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix/IDS_11.70.FC7LANG=C LC__FASTMSG=true LOCPATH=/usr/lib/nls/loc LOGIN=informix LOGNAME=informix MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/informix MAILMSG='[YOU HAVE NEW MAIL]' NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos PATH=/opt/informix/IDS_11.70.FC7/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java5/jre/bin:/usr/java5/bin:/usr/local/bin PS1='informix @ ibm733:$PWD>' PWD=/opt/informix SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh TEMP=/export/home1/informix TERM=xterm TMPDIR=/export/home1/informix TZ=EST5EDT USER=informix _=/opt/informix/IDS_11.70.FC7/ids_install _HOSTNAME=ibm733 I still get the same error from the install. I am installing via sudo so I would thiunk that maybe ther env is not being carried forward through that however "/" does have the amount of space the installer is asking for. As soon as one of the sysadmins gets in, I am going to ask him to install as root rather than sudo with IATEMPDIR. TEMP, & TMPDIR set however there is still the problem of the amopunt of space actually being avainalbe that installer is asking for. And I DO appreciate your assistance here. Thanx, Dan

Two things: 1. use sudo -E to pick up the correct environment. 2. IAMTEMP does not work if pointing to a nfs mounted file system. The install will just hang. ( This occurred on 11.70.FC7 for me ).

Thanx Mark, I have used nfs mounted file systems before for the install but... And wouldn't you know it but the -E option is locked for us as well here. The original question re... the space however still exists. What the installer is asking for IS available. dan

I'm guessing you don't have "sudo su" privs. If installing as root with the environment set up doesn't resolve the issue, I'd give up and call IBM.

Thanx. Support is not the problem. I was just trying to resolve before PMR time.

For any interested parties... There was something cached in /tmp that was holding a bunch of space that did not register in the df command. My SA simply grew the file system and all was well. I suspect now that a reboot would have accomplished the same. Thanx to all who replied though. Dan
