Issue/Introduction

Installation of Agent on Unix/Linux with exit code 8
 
CA ITCM response file install: 'sh PifInst -r '/tmp/ca-dsm.resp.25677' -s' failed with code 8
 
 
 

Environment

Client Automation 14

 

Cause

Following command returns this error :

sh ca-sm-installer -f "ca-dsm.Linux.@pif"

 

Temporary directory has no write permissions.
Reason:         The temporary directory in which the self installer is extracted has no write permissions.
Action:         Ensure that /tmp or $TMPDIR has write permissions: /tmp

 

There is a write permission problem on /tmp

 

Resolution

As workaround this could be done :


mkdir /tmp2
TMPDIR=/tmp2
export TMPDIR

And do installation from /tmp2
